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. See the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.

Prime Rib: I like to get a cut that is bone-in and tied.Butter: Make sure that the butter is softened so that it will blend well with the herbs and seasonings.Garlic Cloves: If you don’t have any fresh garlic cloves on hand then you can use minced garlic! ½ teaspoon equals about 1 clove. Thyme, Oregano and Fresh Rosemary: I like to use freshly chopped herbs to make the flavor taste top notch! Salt and Pepper: Use these to taste!

Use a Thermometer: Using a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meat is the best way to ensure a perfect prime rib every time.
