1-Let’s dive into making this garlic herb crusted boneless prime rib, and trust me, you’ll feel like a pro once you’re done. Start by preheating your oven to 500°F (260°C) and letting your 3-4 pound boneless rib roast sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to ensure even cooking. This step helps the meat cook more evenly and allows the flavors to shine through from the get-go.

2-Next, in a bowl, mix together the softened butter, finely chopped parsley, sage, garlic, salt, and pepper to whip up that amazing herb compound butter. Once blended, thoroughly dry the roast with paper towels to help the butter stick and create a crispy crust. Rub the herb mixture all over the roast, making sure it’s evenly coated for that perfect garlic herb flavor.

3-Now, place the roast fat side up in a cast iron skillet and pop it into the hot oven for 15 minutes to get a nice sear. After that initial blast, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and keep roasting for 45-50 minutes, or until a meat thermometer shows an internal temperature of 125°F (52°C) for medium rare. Take it out and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing into 1/2 inch pieces to serve that resting time is key for juicy results.
