Herb Butter Prime Rib

Category

Roast

This is a big-time crowd pleaser! It pairs just as well with a beer as it does with a big red wine. Serve it in thick slabs or slice it thin for sandwiches. You can cook any size roast to fit the size of your crowd as long as you use an instant read thermometer and you take it out when it reaches an internal temp of 125°. Only the time will vary and don’t forget to rest it for 15 minutes no matter the size. As for the herbs, use what you like or have around. These are just my favorites. Add some extra garlic if you wish and a little cayenne to the mix if you like it spicy – Ray Lampe, Dr. BBQ
