Nick's Famous Prime Rib 1 beef roast(1 lb. per person)     olive oil Kosher salt ground black pepper garlic cloves, peeled and sliced

Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Place roast on rack in roasting pan. Insert garlic cloves in to meat. Rub olive oil all over roast. Generously coast meat with Kosher salt and pepper all over (it may be too salty if you use table salt). Roast at 500 degrees for 30 minutes. Then turn oven down to 325 degrees and continue roasting at 15 minutes per pound. Start checking temperature of meat a little earlier then when you think it may be done, as ovens vary. When center of roast reaches 120 degrees, remove from oven, leave in the roasting pan, cover loosely with foil. Let meat rest at least 1 hour, but 2 hours is even better. This allows the juices to congeal and the roast will be very tender. Just before carving, place uncovered roast back in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes to reheat. Carve rib bones away from body of meat and then slice meat across the grain. We like to serve the prime rib with horseradish mixed with a little sour cream to mellow out the heat.
