Ingredients

Garlic Butter Prime Rib

  • 1 cup salted butter softened
  • 1 Tablespoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 1 medium head garlic
  • 1/4 fresh herbs
  • 5 pound ribeye roast

Gravy

  • 1 Tablespoon all purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
  • 14.5 ounce can beef broth

Instructions

  • Garlic Herb Prime Rib
  • Preheat oven to 500°F.
  • Break apart the head of garlic and smash each clove with the side of your chef's knife. Peel and dice the garlic. Add the garlic to a small bowl with the softened butter, fresh herbs, salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • If your boneless Prime Rib is not already tied, do so with butcher twine every 2-3 inches. Coat the roast with the softened butter.
  • Place the garlic butter Prime Rib on the rack in a roasting pan. Bake at 500°F for 4-5 minutes per pound, depending on your preference for doneness. (This works for sizes ranging from 4-10 pounds)
  • When the cooking time is done, do NOT open the oven door. Turn off the oven and let it rest in the warm oven for 2 hours.
  • After the 2 hours, remove from the oven and slice. Serve directly on plates. Do NOT tent the slices of meat with tinfoil or a lid. This will continue to cook them.
  • Prime Rib Gravy
  • Add the drippings of the roast pan to a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Whisk in the flour and cornstarch until there are no lumps. Stir in the beef broth and cook over high heat until thickened.
  • Strain the gravy with a mesh strainer into a gravy boat. Serve over Prime Rib and potatoes.

Notes

If you are making a larger 10 pound roast, double the amount of garlic herb butter on the roast and ingredients for the gravy.
