    How to Make Herb-Crusted Prime Rib Roast

    1. Preparation

    Start by removing the roast from the refrigerator 2 to 3 hours before you plan to cook. This allows the meat to come to room temperature, ensuring even cooking.

    2. Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 450°F. This high initial heat will help sear the roast, locking in its juices.

    3. Prepare Roast

    Rub 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter on the cut ends of the roast. This adds flavor and helps the seasoning adhere to the meat.

    4. Season Roast

    In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of kosher salt, and 2 tablespoons of freshly ground black pepper. Massage this mixture thoroughly over the entire surface of the meat, ensuring an even coating.

    5. Initial Roasting

    Place the roast rib side down in a shallow roasting pan. Put the pan in the oven and roast for 20 to 30 minutes at 450°F. This high heat will create a beautiful crust on the roast.

    6. Continue Roasting

    After the initial searing, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F. Continue roasting the meat, basting it every 15 to 20 minutes with its own juices. Roast until the internal temperature reaches 125°F for a perfect medium-rare doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature.

    7. Resting

    Once the roast reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the oven and let it rest on a cutting board for 20 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

    8. Carving

    Finally, carve the roast into slabs or thin slices off the bone. Serve and enjoy your perfectly cooked, herb-crusted prime rib roast.

    Variations

    Parmesan-Herb Crusted Roast

    Add grated Parmesan to the herb mixture for a cheesy crust.

    Herb-Crusted Rack of Lamb

    Replace prime rib with lamb and use herbs like rosemary, thyme, and mint.

    Mustard-Herb Crusted Roast

    Slather the roast with Dijon mustard before applying the herb crust.

    Marinades and Glazes

    Marinate the roast in red wine, balsamic vinegar, or soy sauce and ginger, or apply a glaze of pomegranate molasses or maple syrup.

    Herb-Crusted Pork Loin

    Substitute with pork loin and use sage, garlic, and fennel in the crust.
