All of the reviews seem to mention that this recipe is lacking in flavor... maybe its because there's NO SALT?!?! I'm all for letting the flavor of the meat be the star... but seriously? 1 clove of garlic and a little bit of oil to season 3 lbs. of meat?

This is how we like our roasts - simple - we add salt and pepper at the table to our tastes. If you have to mess with a prime rib much you need a new butcher! The cooking time and temp worked out great!

I don't like lots of pepper on my beef, and I avoid salt because of the BP, but this recipe sure needs something more.

As fixed this is very bland, and doesn't do the roast justice. I added fresh cracked pepper, kosher salt to the garlic and olive oil, rubbing it on the roast the morning before roasting. I saved the pan drippings to make au jus by adding 1 cup beef stock, and 1/2 cup red wine, reducing by half.

As written, I think this is a little bit plain. Added fresh ground pepper and more minced garlic (from a jar). Also added some thyme. Used red potatoes instead of big ones.
