Prime Rib Roast

1. 1

   Stir together crumbled bay leaves, sage, the oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and the orange zest in a small bowl. Season with pepper. Rub herb mixture all over the beef, coating evenly. Refrigerate overnight, covered. About 2 hours before you plan to cook the beef, remove it from the refrigerator. Place beef, fat side up, in a roasting pan and allow it to come to room temperature. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 450u00b0F.

2. 2

   Cook beef for 30 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350u00b0F and continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into meat (away from bone) registers 115u00b0F to 120u00b0F (for rare), about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes longer. Let rest 20 minutes.

3. 3

   Carve and serve Slice meat away from ribs, cutting along the bones. Then, slice meat crosswise to desired thickness. Serve, garnished with whole sage leaves.
