Let me tell you about my absolute favorite local dinner recipe that has been passed down through generations in my family – a mouthwatering Garlic Butter Herb Crusted Prime Rib that will make your taste buds dance! Trust me, once you try this recipe, your family will be begging you to make it for every special occasion.
Y’all, I can’t even begin to describe how amazing your kitchen will smell while this beauty is cooking. My husband literally camps out by the oven every time I make this! 😍
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 5-pound prime rib roast
– 8 cloves of garlic (yes, that much! Don’t be shy with it, honey)
– 1/2 cup softened butter
– 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
– 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste (be generous!)
Now, let me walk you through this heavenly creation:
1. First things first, take that prime rib out of the fridge 2 hours before cooking. Trust your girl on this one – room temperature meat cooks more evenly!
1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (235°C). While that’s heating up, let’s make our magical butter mixture.
1. In a bowl, mix the softened butter (make sure it’s really soft!), minced garlic (crush it with love), chopped rosemary, and thyme. This herb butter is seriously to die for – I may or may not have caught my mother-in-law sneaking a taste! 🤭
1. Pat the prime rib dry with paper towels and rub it all over with olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper – don’t be stingy here!
1. Slather that beautiful herb butter mixture ALL over the meat. Get in there and don’t be shy about it!

1. Place the roast in a roasting pan, bone side down. Pop it in the oven at 450°F for 15 minutes to get that gorgeous crust going.
1. Lower the temperature to 325°F and cook for about 15 minutes per pound for medium-rare (internal temperature should reach 120-125°F).
1. Here’s the crucial part: let it rest for 15-20 minutes before cutting. I know it’s tempting to dive right in (believe me, I’ve learned the hard way), but patience is key!
The end result? A perfectly pink, juicy prime rib that’ll have everyone at your table swooning! Serve it with some roasted potatoes and your favorite vegetables, and you’ve got yourself a meal fit for royalty!
