Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m absolutely thrilled to share my grandmother’s secret recipe that has literally been making people weak in the knees for generations. Trust me, this Garlic Butter Herb Prime Rib is not your average Sunday dinner – it’s what I like to call a “proposal-worthy” meal (seriously, I’ve seen it happen! 😉).
Let me tell you, the first time I made this for my family, my brother-in-law actually stopped mid-bite and asked if I had secretly attended culinary school. _hair flip_ Nope, just your girl here with some serious kitchen magic!
Now, before we dive in, I need you to promise me you’ll follow these instructions to the T. No freestyle cooking here, honey – this is the real deal!
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 olive oil
– Salt and pepper (be generous, darling)
Okay, let’s get cooking! 💃
1. First things first, take that prime rib out of the fridge 2 hours before cooking. Nobody likes a cold shoulder, and your meat doesn’t either!
1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°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 room temp!), minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme. This is where the magic happens, folks!

1. Pat your prime rib dry with paper towels (just like how we pat our face dry after cleansing, ladies!). Season generously with salt and pepper.
1. Slather that beautiful butter mixture ALL over the meat. Don’t be shy – get in there!
1. Place it in a roasting pan, bone side down (if using bone-in).
1. Here’s the crucial part: Roast at 450°F for 15 minutes to get that gorgeous crust, then reduce temperature to 325°F and cook for about 15 minutes per pound for medium-rare.
1. Use a meat thermometer (your new BFF) to check the temperature:
– Rare: 120-125°F
– Medium-rare: 130-135°F
– Medium: 140-145°F
1. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes before cutting. I know it’s tempting to dive right in, but patience is a virtue, sweetie!
The result? A perfectly pink, juicy, herb-crusted prime rib that’ll have everyone at your table fighting for seconds. And let me tell you, the leftovers (if you have any) make the most amazing sandwiches!
Y’all, I cannot stress enough how this recipe has saved me during countless dinner parties and family gatherings. It’s literally foolproof if you follow these steps!
