Description
This prime rib is seasoned with a flavorful cowboy butter, perfect for special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks / 227 g) unsalted butter, (softened)
- 2 tablespoons coarse Dijon Mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, (chopped)
- 4 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 4 teaspoons garlic, (minced)
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 boneless prime rib roast, (6–7 pounds)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, add the softened butter, dijon mustard, chives, parsley, thyme, garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, pepper, cayenne, and red pepper flakes. Mix together until combined. This recipe makes about 1 ⅓ cups of cowboy butter. (You could also mix the ingredients in a food processor.)
- Reserve ⅓ cup of the cowboy butter for serving. The remaining butter will be used to season the prime rib.
- Remove the prime rib roast from the refrigerator and preheat the oven to reach 130°F to 135°F for medium.
- Once the desired temperature is reached, remove the roast from the oven.
- Tent loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 30 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
- Slice against the grain for the most tender bite and serve with the reserved cowboy butter, softened at room temperature or slightly melted.
Notes
- This cowboy butter can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
- Pair this dish with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
