Hey there, foodies! Today I’m super excited to share one of my absolute favorite recipes that never fails to impress dinner guests. Trust me, this Garlic Butter Herb-Crusted Prime Rib will make everyone think you’ve secretly been attending culinary school! 😉
Y’all, the first time I made this, my husband literally couldn’t stop talking about it for days. Like, honey, I get it – it’s amazing! But let’s talk about something else! 🙄
So, let me spill the tea on this mouthwatering masterpiece:
Ingredients:
– 5-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 kosher salt
– 1 tablespoon black pepper
– 1 tablespoon olive oil

Let’s get cooking:
1. First things first, take that prime rib out of the fridge 2 hours before cooking. I know it’s hard to wait, but room temperature meat cooks more evenly. This is non-negotiable, ladies and gents!
1. Preheat your oven to 450°F. While that’s heating up, let’s make our herb butter mixture. Combine the softened butter (not melted – we’re not savages!), minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme in a bowl.
1. Pat your prime rib dry with paper towels. Trust me on this – it’s crucial for that perfect crust we’re aiming for. Rub it all over with olive oil, then generously season with salt and pepper.
1. Now for the fun part – slather that herb butter mixture ALL over the meat. Don’t be shy; get in there and make sure every inch is covered!
1. Place the roast in a roasting pan, bone side down (if you’ve got a boneless one, that’s fine too!). Pop it in the oven at 450°F for 15 minutes to get that gorgeous crust going.
1. Here’s the important part: Lower the temperature to 325°F and continue cooking for about 15 minutes per pound for medium-rare (internal temperature should reach 120-125°F).
1. Once it hits your desired temperature, take it out and let it rest for 15-20 minutes. I know it’s tempting to dig right in, but patience is a virtue, darling!
The result? A perfectly pink center with a golden, garlicky crust that’ll have everyone begging for seconds. Pair it with some roasted potatoes and a glass of red wine, and you’ve got yourself a dinner worthy of a five-star restaurant!
