Herb-Crusted Prime Rib

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a roasting pan and roasting rack with cooking spray. Place roast fat-side up on rack in the roasting pan.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine butter, thyme, rosemary, onion powder, garlic, salt, and pepper; mix well. Rub mixture evenly over the beef.

Step 3

Roast beef 30 minutes, then reduce heat to 300 degrees. and continue to cook 1-1/2 to 2 hours for medium rare (135 degrees F) or until desired doneness. Remove beef to a cutting board and let rest 15 to 20 minutes. (This will help the beef retain its juices once it’s cut.)

Step 4

Meanwhile, on the stovetop over medium heat, add beef broth to roasting pan (make sure the pan is stovetop safe) and deglaze it by whisking the pan drippings for 2 to 3 minutes. Carve the roast across the grain into 1/2-inch to 1-inch slices. Spoon pan drippings over beef and serve immediately.
