🛒 What You’ll Need

For the Prime Rib:

  • 5–7 lb Bone-in or boneless Prime Rib roast (at room temperature!) 🥩
  • 4 tbsp Unsalted butter, softened 🧈
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced 🧄
  • 1 tbsp Fresh rosemary, chopped 🌿
  • 1 tbsp Fresh thyme, chopped 🍃
  • 2 tbsp Coarse sea salt & 1 tbsp Cracked black pepper 🧂🖤

For the Horseradish Cream Sauce:

  • 1 cup Sour cream or crème fraîche 🥛
  • 3 tbsp Prepared horseradish (adjust for heat!) 🌶️
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard 🍯
  • 1 tbsp Fresh chives, minced 🌱
  • 1 tsp Lemon juice 🍋
  • Salt & Pepper to taste 🧂

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prep the Meat: Take the roast out of the fridge at least 2 hours before cooking to ensure it cooks evenly. Pat it completely dry with paper towels. 🥩🌡️✨
  2. The Herb Crust: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the roast, focusing on the top fat cap. 🧈🌿🧄🤝
  3. High-Heat Sear: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place the roast in a roasting pan and bake for 15–20 minutes to create that gorgeous, crispy crust. ⏲️🔥🥨
  4. Low & Slow: Drop the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C). Continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches 120°F (49°C) for rare or 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare. ⏲️📉🌡️
  5. The Sauce: While the beef roasts, whisk together all the horseradish sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and chill in the fridge to let the flavors marry. 🥛🌶️🌪️❄️
  6. The Most Important Step: Remove the roast from the oven and tent it loosely with foil. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute so they stay in the meat, not on the cutting board! 🥩🛡️⏳
  7. Serve: Slice the prime rib into thick slabs and serve with a generous dollop of the zesty horseradish cream. 🍽️😋✨

🔥 Pro Tips:

  • The Thermometer is King: Don’t guess! Use a meat thermometer to pull the roast exactly when it hits your desired temp. It will continue to rise about 5 degrees while resting. 🌡️🎯
  • The “Rest” Secret: If you cut into it too early, you’ll lose all that juicy goodness. Be patient—it’s worth the wait! ⏳🛡️💎
