Prime Rib in Herbs & Garlic Butter

Prime rib is one of those dishes that takes center stage no matter when you serve it. Luckily, it couldn’t be much easier to prepare!

A prime rib roast, or standing rib roast, is cut from the back of the upper rib section of the steer, and it usually comprises a total of seven ribs. To make the slow roasted Prime Rib, you’ll need a three-bone rib roast, which can be cut either from the chuck end or the loin end of the rib section.

Roast your prime rib until the thermometer registers:

• 115-120˚F for rare
• 125-130˚F for medium rare
• 135-140° F for medium
• 145-150 F° for medium well
  

Remember that the meat temperature will continue to rise 5-10 degrees when it’s resting out of the oven, so don’t over cook it!
