    The Best Prime Rib

    The holidays wouldn’t be complete without a prime rib roast. Well, I am here to bring you the best prime rib recipe with a few tips and tricks for cooking the perfect tender and juicy meat every single time. You are going to bring your A-game to Christmas dinner with a flavorful and bold beef rib roast that is actually really simple to make!

    With these easy to follow steps, you will have a perfect Christmas dinner that will be loved by all. Prime rib is top of the line meat that tastes just as AMAZING as it looks. The marbled cut and beautiful bone structure is just what you need to have this slice of heaven on your plate. Cooking this beef does not have to take long. It is best to have a crispy outside and a tender, juicy inside. With this garlic butter herb prime rib recipe you will have the PERFECT decadent dinner this holiday season!

    Herb Garlic Butter Prime Rib Ingredients

    I always buy my roast with the bone. The butcher at our local grocery store cuts the bone but leaves it partially attached and ties it onto the roast. This makes it easier to carve the meat and the bone creates a rack for the meat to cook on. 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!!

    • Prime rib: bone-in and tied
    • Butter: softened and will blend well with herbs and seasonings.
    • Garlic: cloves that are minced.
    • Thyme: freshly chopped
    • Oregano: freshly chopped
    • Rosemary: freshly chopped
    • Salt and pepper: to taste!

    How to Cook Prime Rib

    Preparing your meat is a great way to ensure your cooking time is perfected by having an evenly cooked prime rib. Taking out your roast before cooking will help with this process. Making the garlic butter herb sauce is simple and creates a perfect outside crust while soaking it in internally for a juicy and tender prime rib. This recipe will be a little piece of heaven on your plate. Enjoy this decadent recipe this holiday season with friends and family!

    • Prepare your meat: Remove the prime rib from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before to bring it to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
    • Mix together garlic butter herb sauce: 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.
    • Cook prime rib: 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.
    • Let your meat rest: 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.


    What Cut Of Meat Is Best?

    A prime rib roast, or standing rib roast, is cut from the back of the upper rib section of the steer, and it usually comprises a total of seven ribs. To make the slow-roasted Prime Rib, you’ll need a three-bone rib roast, which can be cut either from the chuck end or the loin end of the rib section.

    Here are some tips for choosing the best prime rib meat:

    • You will want a bone-in prime rib. On average a 2 to 6-pound prime rib has 2 to 3 bones.
    • When ordering from a butcher, ask to keep the strings on it if possible. This will ensure cooking it evenly and keeps its form while cooking.
    • If possible, ask to have the largest deckle. The deckle is tender and the most flavorful piece of meat.

    Cooking Information Per Pound?

    The bones create a natural roasting rack for the meat. Cook the roast at a higher temperature of 450 degrees for 15 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 325 degrees and continue to cook until the thermometer reads 110 degrees. About 15 minutes of cooking time per pound.

    Why is Prime Rib so Good?

    Prime rib has a large eye of meat in the center. This is juicy, tender and marbled with fat. It is so tender because the muscles aren’t heavily used and it stays juicy because of all of the fat. It is extremely flavorful and beefy which contributes to the high price.

    Every single thing about this recipe is absolute perfection. This is hands down the most delicious 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!

    Tips for Making the Perfect Roast

    Melt in your mouth prime rib is just what you need to celebrate the holidays this year! A meat thermometer is always a MUST when cooking any type of meat. This will ensure the perfect prime rib dinner every time. These quick and simple tips will help cooking the best prime rib this year!

    • Using a meat thermometer is the best way to ensure a perfect prime rib every time.
    • Take your prime rib out of the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to let it rest before cooking. This will ensure an even cook time.
    • You can remove the bones before cooking but it is not necessary. The bone-in adds to the flavor and helps keep the prime rib tender and juicy.
    • Remove your prime rib out of the oven when it is about 5 degrees lower than the temperature you are wanting. Cover your meat and let it rest. It will slowly cook as it is resting.

    Cooking Temperatures

    Prime rib can be a little intimidating to make because you are trying to achieve the perfect medium-rare temperature. Since prime rib can be a bit pricey, the last thing that you want to do is to overcook it. I have had that happen before and it is awful! I highly recommend using an oven thermometer for this recipe. It makes it easy to quickly check to see if it is getting close to the desired temperature.

    The closed oven method can be a great one, but I had a roast overcook because I was too trusting. That is where you roast the meat at 500 degrees for 5 minutes per pound. Then you leave the oven closed for 2 hours and it slowly cooks. If using this method I highly recommend a thermometer inside of the meat so that you can check on it without opening the oven while it cooks.

    • Rare: 120 to130 degrees Fahrenheit
    • Medium Rare: 130 to 135 degrees Fahrenheit
    • Medium: 135 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit
    • Medium Well: 145 to 155 degrees Fahrenheit
    • Well Done: 155 degrees Fahrenheit

    Storing Your Meat

    Having leftover meat is just another way to enjoy it a little longer! You still have all the tender, juicy flavors are infused into the prime rib. Enjoy another slice of heaven a second time around with these storing ideas.

    • How long does prime rib last in the refrigerator: It can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5 to 7 days.
    • Can you freeze prime rib: Yes! Let it rest until completely cooled. Once cooled, place in a ziplock freezer bag, letting all the air out. Lay flat in the freezer for 1 month. When ready to warm up, place in the refrigerator overnight until thawed.
    • How to reheat prime rib: If frozen, let thaw completely. Place in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until it has reached the desire internal temperature. Enjoy!
