Steps:
- Place oven rack on lower level. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Rub roast all over with salt and pepper. Transfer to heavy 13-by-16-inch metal roasting pan. Arrange fat-side up. Place short ribs in pan.
- Cook 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees, and continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thick end of roast (not touching a bone) reaches 115 degrees, about 1 hour and 25 minutes. If it hasn't, return it to oven; check temperature at 10-minute intervals.
- Transfer roast to platter; set aside in warm spot for juices to collect. (As roast rests, temperature will increase about 10 degrees.) Do not tent, or crust will get soggy. The short ribs can be eaten as a snack, or reserved to make flavorful soups.
- Pour fat and all dark drippings out of pan into a fat separator; set aside.
- Place roasting pan over medium-high heat. Pour red wine into pan; scrape bottom with wooden spoon, scooping up crispy bits to deglaze pan. Add the drippings that have settled to the bottom of the fat separator, making sure not to add the fat. Cook until reduced by half, 5 to 8 minutes. Place a fine sieve in a medium heatproof bowl. Pour juices into strainer. Using a wooden spoon, press down on solids to extract juices. Discard solids. Serve the juices warm with the prime rib.

Steps:
- Liberally season the prime rib with the salt and some pepper and refrigerate overnight.
- An hour before cooking, remove the roast from the refrigerator to allow it to come to room temperature.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Put the reserved ribs in a roasting pan bowed-side up (the ribs will be acting as the roasting rack). Scatter any fat and meat trimmings in the pan around the bones. Roast the bones and trimmings for about 30 minutes, or until the fat starts to render.
- Remove the pan from the oven, put the rosemary sprigs on top of the bones, then top with the prime rib. Put the smashed garlic in the bottom of the pan with the trimmings. Baste the beef with the fat drippings and return the pan to the oven.
- Cook for 30 minutes and then baste the roast again.
- Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and cook until the meat is medium rare (an internal temperature of 125 degrees F to 130 degrees F), about 1 hour, 15 minutes, basting the roast every 30 minutes until it is done. Keep in mind that the roast will continue to cook while resting.
- Remove the roast from the oven and put it on a cutting board to rest, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Slice the prime rib to the desired thickness and garnish with the arugula and olive oil.
Tips:
- Choose the right roast: Look for a prime rib roast that is at least 3 inches thick and has good marbling.
- Prepare the roast properly: Remove any excess fat from the roast and season it liberally with salt, pepper, and garlic. You can also add other spices or herbs to taste.
- Cook the roast at a low temperature: This will help to ensure that the roast cooks evenly and remains juicy. The ideal internal temperature for prime rib is 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare.
- Let the roast rest before carving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the roast, resulting in more tender meat.
- Serve the roast with your favorite sides: Some popular choices include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and Yorkshire pudding.
