_Rolls up sleeves with a smirk_
Oh honey, let me tell you about this absolutely divine family-style dinner that’ll have everyone fighting over seconds! I’ve been perfecting this Garlic Butter Herb-Crusted Prime Rib with roasted vegetables for years, and it’s my go-to when I want to feel like a total kitchen goddess.
Picture this: a perfectly cooked, juicy prime rib with a crispy, herbaceous crust that literally melts in your mouth. Trust me, this isn’t your average Sunday dinner – this is the kind of meal that makes your mother-in-law secretly jealous of your cooking skills! 😉
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 5-6 lb prime rib roast
– 8 cloves of garlic (yes, that much – we’re not afraid of flavor here!)
– 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
– 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
– 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt and pepper (be generous, darling)
– Assorted vegetables (I use baby potatoes, carrots, and Brussels sprouts)
Now, before we dive in, if you’re loving this recipe already, 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.
Let’s get cooking:
1. First things first – take that beautiful piece of meat out of the fridge 2 hours before cooking. Room temperature meat is happy meat!
1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (patience, my dear).
1. In a food processor, blend garlic, herbs, butter, and olive oil into a paste that smells like heaven.
1. Pat your meat dry (very important!) and season generously with salt and pepper. Then slather that gorgeous herb butter all over it like you’re giving it a spa treatment.
1. Place the roast in a large roasting pan, surrounded by your prepped vegetables.
1. Pop it in the oven at 450°F for 15 minutes (this creates that gorgeous crust), then lower to 325°F and cook for about 15 minutes per pound for medium-rare.
Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer (because we’re not savages who guess) – 120-125°F for rare, 130-135°F for medium-rare.
Y’all, the smell in your kitchen while this is cooking… _chef’s kiss_ It’s better than any candle you’ve ever bought!
Remember to let it rest for 15-20 minutes before cutting. I know it’s torture, but trust your girl on this one!
