_Sips coffee_ Ladies and gentlemen, let me share with you my absolute favorite recipe that’ll make your family think you secretly enrolled in culinary school! This Garlic Butter Herb-Crusted Prime Rib is about to become your new go-to for those “I need to impress someone” moments.
Y’all, I can’t even tell you how many times this recipe has saved my dinner parties. Trust me, once you master this bad boy, you’ll be the talk of the neighborhood (in a good way, unlike Karen’s questionable potato salad from last year’s BBQ 😉).
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 5-pound prime rib roast
– 8 cloves of garlic (because vampire protection is important)
– 1/2 cup softened butter
– 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
– 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt and pepper (be generous, we’re not counting calories today!)
First things first, bring that meat to room temperature for about 2 hours before cooking. Trust me on this one – it makes ALL the difference! While you’re waiting, mix your softened butter with minced garlic, chopped herbs, and a pinch of salt and pepper until it’s well combined.
(Quick pause: if you’re loving this recipe so far, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for daily doses of culinary magic! I share everything from quick weeknight dinners to fancy-pants dishes like this one.)
Now, here’s where the magic happens. Preheat your oven to 450°F. Pat the roast dry (nobody likes a soggy prime rib!), and generously season all sides with salt and pepper. Rub that gorgeous garlic-herb butter all over the meat like you’re giving it a spa treatment.
Place the roast fat-side up in a roasting pan and pop it in the oven for 15 minutes at 450°F. Then, reduce the temperature to 325°F and cook for about 15 minutes per pound for medium-rare (internal temperature should read 120-125°F).
Here’s the CRUCIAL part – let it rest for 15-20 minutes before cutting. I know it’s tempting to dive right in, but patience is a virtue, darling!
The end result? A perfectly pink center, a crusty herb-seasoned exterior, and enough leftovers for the most amazing sandwiches tomorrow (if there are any leftovers, that is!).
Honestly, every time I make this, my kitchen smells like heaven, and my family thinks I’m some sort of culinary goddess. And you know what? I’m totally okay with that! 😎
