Oh my goodness, girlfriends! Let me tell you about this absolutely divine dinner recipe that’s been making my family beg for seconds (and thirds!). This Garlic Butter Herb-Crusted Prime Rib is seriously to die for, and I’m spilling all the tea on how to make this restaurant-worthy dish right in your kitchen! 🥩✨
Listen, I know cooking a prime rib can seem intimidating – trust me, I was shaking in my boots the first time I tried it! But I’m here to hold your hand through this process, and once you nail it, you’ll feel like a total kitchen goddess.
Here’s what you’ll need (and no skimping on quality, ladies!):
– 6-pound prime rib roast
– 8 cloves of garlic (yes, that much – we’re not afraid of flavor here!)
– 1/2 cup softened butter
– 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
– 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt and pepper (be generous, trust me)
Okay, now let me walk you through this magic (and if you’re loving this recipe so far, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for more mouth-watering recipes that’ll make your family think you secretly attended culinary school! 😉)
First things first, take that beautiful piece of meat out of the fridge 2 hours before cooking. I know it seems like forever, but patience is a virtue, darling! Room temperature meat cooks more evenly.
While you’re waiting, let’s make that heavenly garlic butter mixture. Mince those garlic cloves (I won’t judge if you use pre-minced, we’re all busy!), chop your fresh herbs, and mix them with the softened butter. This is what I call our “flavor bomb!”
Now, here’s where the magic happens:
1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (your kitchen’s about to smell amazing!)
2. Pat your roast dry with paper towels
3. Rub it all over with olive oil
4. Season generously with salt and pepper
5. Slather that garlic butter mixture ALL over (get in there, don’t be shy!)
Pop that baby in the oven at 450°F for 15 minutes to get that gorgeous crust, then lower the temperature to 325°F and cook for about 15 minutes per pound for medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer – we’re aiming for 120-125°F for medium-rare.
Y’all, the hardest part? Letting it rest for 20-30 minutes after cooking. I know it’s torture, but trust your girl on this one! This is what makes the difference between good and OMG-THIS-IS-AMAZING!
Can we talk about how this will make your holiday dinner table look like it belongs in a magazine? Serve it with some roasted potatoes and green beans, and honey, you’ve got yourself a meal that’ll have everyone thinking you’ve got a secret sous chef hidden away!
