Every Christmas our family has Prime Rib for dinner. Years ago I found a recipe for prime rib with an herb rub and a home made horseradish sauce, and it’s delicious. Our family look forward to it every year. Enjoy!
-
4 lb. beef rib roast
-
1 clove garlic, cut in half
-
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
-
Herb Rub (below)
-
Horseradish Sauce, if desired (below)
Heat oven to 325 degrees. Prepare Herb Rub. Place beef, fat side up, on rack in shallow roasting pan. Rub garlic over beef. Spread mustard over top and sides of beef. Spread herb rub over top and sides of beef. Insert thermometer so tip is in center of thickest part of beef and does not touch the bone. Roast uncovered, 1 1/2 – 2 hours, or until thermometer reads 140 degrees (medium doneness; 130 for rare; 150 for well done). Cover beef loosely with foil tent and let stand about 15 minutes, or until thermometer reads 140 degrees. Serve beef with Horseradish sauce. Serves 8HERB RUB:
