Perfectly cooked Air Fryer Prime Rib is full of the natural flavors and textures that make this one of my personal favorites. The Air Fryer captures all the grease and that goes to the gravy in about as easy and simple to follow process you will find. The last of the gravy is only surpassed by the deliciousness of a bone-in Prime Rib that is restaurant quality at a home cooked price. I take pride in being able to figure out how to work with my home tools and create something my family raves about. This Prime Rib recipe is easy to follow and comes out prefect every time. I started with the base cook times for a 6 lbs roast as that feeds a family of five and fits in my Air Fryer basket. Serve with masked potatoes and garlic bread for a complete satisfying meal.

In a bowl: combine butter, chopped garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, olive oil, salt, pepper and mix everything together. Set aside.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and set the time to 10 minutes. Pat the prime rib dry using a paper towel.
Rub half of the seasonings on the sides and bottom of the prime rib. Rub the other half on top of the rib.
Place prime rib in the air fryer basket. Turn down the heat to 390°F. Cook for 20 minutes.
Then, turn down the heat to 275°F. Cook for 6 min. per-lb for rare, 8 min. per-lb for medium rare, 10 min. per-lb for medium. I highly recommend using a meat thermometer to check the internal temp. For reference: rare (internal temp. 120°-125°F), medium rare (internal temp. 130°-135°F), medium (internal temp. 140°-145°F).
Remove the prime rib, place in a safe location (preferably indoors), and let it rest (uncovered) for an additional 20 minutes prior to carving.
Optional: remove charred crust from the rib. Discard the string.
Transfer the grease (from the air fryer basket) to a sauce pan. Turn up the heat to med-high. Wait until the grease gets really hot.
Add flour and whisk until no there are no lumps.
Slowly pour in wine and whisk.
Pour in beef broth and continue to whisk. Turn down the heat to medium.
Simmer for 10-15 minutes or until optimal consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine all the ingredients together and mix until well combined.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Slice and serve!
Enjoy!
