Ingredients
– 3-4 pound boneless rib roast for main protein
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened for herb compound butter
– 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped or grated for aromatic and pungent notes
– ½ cup fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped for fresh herbal brightness
– 5-6 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped for earthy depth
– 2 teaspoons kosher salt for seasoning and enhancing taste
– 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper for spicy kick
Instructions
1-Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C) and let the 3-4 pound boneless rib roast sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
2-In a bowl, mix 4 tablespoons softened unsalted butter with 4 cloves finely chopped garlic, ½ cup finely chopped fresh parsley, 5-6 finely chopped fresh sage leaves, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper to make the herb compound butter.
3-Thoroughly dry the rib roast with paper towels to help the butter stick well.
4-Apply the herb compound butter all over the roast for even coverage.
5-Put the roast fat side up in a cast iron skillet and roast at 500°F (260°C) for 15 minutes to create a nice sear.
6-Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and keep roasting for 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature hits 125°F (52°C) for medium rare.
7-Take the roast out of the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes to let the juices settle before slicing into ½ inch slices for serving.
