Ingredients

4 lbs Bone-in Ribeye
3 sticks Unsalted butter
1 tbsp Freshly chopped parsley
1 tbsp Freshly chopped thyme
1 tbsp Freshly chopped rosemary
1 tbsp Minced garlic
1 tbsp Salt

Instructions

Butter Spread instructions

In a mixing bowl, add 3 sticks of soft room temperature butter, fresh parsley, thyme, rosemary, minced garlic and salt. Blend the ingredients together using a fork and set aside.

Prime Rib instructions

Add a generous layer of the homemade butter spread between the ribs and meat.
Tie the whole piece together with butchers twine to hold the prime rib together during the cook.
Melt the remaining butter spread to a thick liquid consistency. This made it easier to cover the entire outer prime rib.
Place the prime rib in the fridge for the butter to harden and create a thick buttery bark.
Preheat the grill to 275 degrees and set it for indirect heat. Depending on the size of your roast, the total grill process will take 2-3 hours.
Remove it from the grill once the internal temperature of the prime rib reaches 115 degrees.
Let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.

Notes

Make sure to get a bone in prime rib and trim it your shelf. It’s more economical, you can keep the level of fat that you desire and the frenched bones make for a pretty presentation.

Make a compound garlic and herb butter in advance that you can use to spread on the prepped prime rib. The butter adds a layer of fattiness and richness browning and flavoring the skin.

A great alternative to Dad’s steak seasoning is either a different steak seasoning that is herby and peppery or Italian Herb seasoning. Make sure to add salt and pepper.

Prime rib is best enjoyed at 110 degrees doneness.
