Ingredients
  

For the Stuffing

  • 1 ½ cups cubed day-old bread
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • ½ cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large egg beaten

For the Roast

  • 1 bone-in prime rib roast about 4-5 lbs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

Instructions
 

For the Stuffing

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread cubes, Parmesan cheese, garlic, onion, parsley, rosemary, and thyme.
  • Season with salt and pepper, and add the olive oil, mixing until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Add the beaten egg to the mixture to help bind the stuffing together. The stuffing should be moist but not too wet; if needed, add more breadcrumbs or a splash of chicken broth.
  • Set aside while you prepare the prime rib.

For the Roast

  • Preheat your oven to 450°F.
  • Using a sharp knife, create a deep pocket in the center of the prime rib without cutting through the meat. This pocket will hold the stuffing.
  • Generously season the entire roast with salt and pepper.
  • Stuff the pocket with the stuffing mixture, pressing it firmly inside. Be careful not to overfill.
  • In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Spread the Dijon mustard along the prime rib. Then, rub the spice mixture on the outside of the prime rib.
  • Place the stuffed prime rib on a roasting rack inside a roasting pan.
  • Roast the prime rib for 20 minutes until a golden-brown crust begins to form. Then reduce the oven temperature to 325°F. Continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches 125°F for medium-rare, which should take about 1 ½ to 2 hours, depending on the size of the roast.
  • Once done, remove the prime rib from the oven and tent it loosely with foil. Let it rest for at least 15 to 20 minutes before slicing.
