Herb Crusted Prime Rib Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Prepare the Prime Rib

   Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Rub the prime rib roast with olive oil, salt, and black pepper on all sides.

2. 2

   Make the Herb Crust

   In a bowl, mix together the chopped rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, and olive oil. Press this herb mixture onto the surface of the prime rib roast.

3. 3

   Roast the Meat

   Place the roast in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.

   Rest the Roast

   Remove the roast from the oven and tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for about 20-30 minutes.

5. 5

   Prepare the Rosemary Jus

   In a saucepan, add beef broth and any drippings from the roasting pan. Bring to a simmer and reduce by half until slightly thickened.

   In a bowl, mix together horseradish, sour cream, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
