GARLIC BUTTER HERB PRIME RIB

Garlic Butter Herb Prime Rib is melt in your mouth tender and juicy prime rib that is cooked to medium rare perfection and marbled with fat.  The seared garlic butter herb crust is incredible!

The best part of this recipe is hands down the garlic herb butter that gets rubbed on the roast before it cooks.  I am telling you!  It gives it the absolute best flavor.  You can never go wrong with garlic, butter, and herbs slathered on meat.  Am I right?  Just look at that amazing crust!!

INGREDIENTS:

• 2-6 pounds bone prime rib (boned and tied)
• 1 Tablespoon thyme, finely chopped
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 Tablespoon rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 Tablespoon oregano, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 Tablespoon salt

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Remove the prime rib from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before to bring it to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
2. In a small bowl mix butter, garlic, thyme, oregano, rosemary, salt and pepper. Rub all of the butter on the outside of your prime rib and plave in a roasting pan or large skillet with the fat side up.
3. Cook for 15 minutes and reduce the temperature to 325 degrees. It is about 15 minutes per pound of meat. Bake until it reaches an internal temperature of 110 degrees.
4. Remove from oven and let it rest with foil for at least 20 minutes. The temperature will rise to 130 degrees for a medium rare prime rib.

Every single thing about this recipe is absolute perfection.  This is hands down the best prime rib recipe that I have every had in my entire life.  That is sure saying something!   I have never had more tender meat while carving the roast.  It just melts in your mouth and the flavor is unreal.  I know that your family will love it just as much as we did.  It will be the star at your dinner table this holiday!
