Pat the 4 to 5 pound prime rib roast dry using paper towels. Rub the entire surface of the roast with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, and 1 teaspoon dried thyme. Rub the seasoning mixture evenly all over the prime rib roast.
Place 2 quartered onions and 4 minced garlic cloves in the bottom of the Crock Pot.
Carefully place the seasoned prime rib roast on top of the onions and garlic in the Crock Pot.
Pour ½ cup beef broth and ½ cup red wine around the roast in the Crock Pot, making sure not to pour directly over the meat so the seasoning stays intact.
Cover the Crock Pot and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the prime rib reaches your preferred doneness. For medium-rare, cook until the internal temperature reaches 130 to 135 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove the prime rib roast from the Crock Pot and let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing.
Slice and serve the prime rib roast with the juices from the Crock Pot spooned over the top if desired.

Red Wine Alternative: If omitting red wine, replace it with an equal amount of beef broth to maintain moisture and richness in the dish.

Monitoring Cooking Time: Cooking times may vary depending on the size of the roast and your crockpot. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.

Importance of Resting: Allow the cooked prime rib to rest before slicing to ensure juiciness.

Sauce Options: For a thicker sauce, simmer the Crock Pot juices with a cornstarch slurry.
