_Sips coffee_ Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you about a dinner recipe that’ll make your family think you secretly enrolled in culinary school! This Garlic Butter Herb-Crusted Prime Rib is absolutely to die for, and trust me, I’ve made this bad boy more times than I’ve bought shoes (and that’s saying something!).
Listen up, because this recipe is about to change your dinner game forever. You’ll need:
– 5-pound prime rib roast
– 8 cloves of garlic (yes, that much – we’re not vampire-friendly here!)
– 1/2 cup softened butter
– 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
– 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
– 2 tablespoons kosher salt
– 1 tablespoon black pepper
Now, here’s where the magic happens! First things first, let that meat come to room temperature for about 2 hours – patience is a virtue, darling! While you’re waiting, mix that butter with minced garlic and herbs until it’s more beautiful than your favorite Instagram filter.

Back to our star of the show! Preheat that oven to 450°F. Rub your prime rib with salt and pepper like you’re giving it a spa treatment. Then slather that gorgeous garlic butter mixture all over. Don’t be shy – get in there!
Pop it in the oven at 450°F for 15 minutes (this creates that gorgeous crust we’re after). Then, lower the temperature to 325°F and cook for about 15 minutes per pound for medium-rare. Pro tip: use a meat thermometer – we’re aiming for 120°F for rare, 130°F for medium-rare.
Let it rest for 15-20 minutes before cutting. I know it’s tempting to dive right in (trust me, I’ve made that mistake), but this step is crucial for keeping all those amazing juices inside.
The end result? A prime rib so tender it’ll melt in your mouth faster than your favorite chocolate on a hot summer day! Serve it with roasted potatoes and your favorite veggies for a meal that’ll have everyone thinking you’re the next Gordon Ramsay (minus the colorful language, of course! 😉).
