SERVINGS: 8 servings

EQUIPMENT:

• Roasting pan with rack
• Sharp chef’s knife
• Cutting board
• Small mixing bowl
• Kitchen twine
• Meat thermometer
• Aluminum foil

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 (4–5 pound) boneless prime rib roast
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Prepare the Roast

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
2. Place the prime rib on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully butterfly the roast by slicing horizontally through the center, stopping before cutting all the way through. Open it like a book.
3. Pat the inside dry with paper towels.

Step 2: Make the Garlic Herb Filling

1. In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
2. Mix well until a thick herb paste forms.
3. Spread the herb mixture evenly over the inside of the butterflied roast.

Step 3: Roll and Tie the Roast

1. Carefully roll the roast back into its original shape, enclosing the herb filling inside.
2. Secure the roast tightly with kitchen twine at 1–2 inch intervals.
3. Place the tied roast on a rack inside the roasting pan.

Step 4: Roast to Perfection

1. Roast at 450°F for 15 minutes to create a flavorful crust.
2. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting for approximately 1 hour 15–30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare.
3. Remove from the oven and tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let rest for 15–20 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.

Step 5: Slice and Serve

1. Remove the kitchen twine and slice the roast into thick portions.
2. Serve warm with your favorite roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
3. Enjoy your beautifully seasoned Garlic Herb Stuffed Prime Rib!

TIPS:

• Use a meat thermometer for accurate doneness and perfectly cooked beef.
• For added nutrition and balance, serve with fiber-rich sides like roasted Brussels sprouts or quinoa salad.
• Allowing the roast to rest before slicing ensures maximum juiciness and tenderness.
