Fresh Parsley (1/4 cup chopped)
Garlic (4 cloves minced)
Dijon Mustard (2 tablespoons)
Kosher Salt (2 teaspoons)
Freshly Ground Black Pepper (1 teaspoon)
Beef Broth (1 cup optional)
Red Wine (1/2 cup optional)
Butter (1 tablespoon)
Shallots (2 finely chopped)
Worcestershire sauce (1 teaspoon)
Instructions
Choose a USDA Prime or Choice grade prime rib roast with good marbling. Consider bone-in for more flavor or boneless for easier carving.
Finely chop the fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, parsley). Combine them with minced garlic, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl to form a paste.
Pat the prime rib dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
Spread the herb crust evenly over the entire surface of the prime rib, pressing it gently to ensure it adheres well.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place the prime rib on a roasting rack set inside a roasting pan.
Sear the roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C).
Roast until the internal temperature reaches your desired level of doneness (Rare: 120-130°F, Medium-Rare: 130-140°F, Medium: 140-150°F). Use a meat thermometer.
Remove the prime rib from the oven and tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for at least 20-30 minutes before carving.
(Optional) To make a pan sauce: Skim the fat from the pan drippings. Sauté finely chopped shallots or onions in butter until softened. Deglaze the pan with red wine or beef broth. Simmer and reduce the sauce. Finish with butter, salt, pepper, and a splash of Worcestershire sauce. Strain if desired.
Place the rested prime rib on a cutting board with the bones facing down (if bone-in). Carve against the grain into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Serve the sliced prime rib immediately with your favorite sides.
