Garlic Butter Rib Roast Recipe 🧄🍖

[Oniokitty]

Ingredients​

• 1 rib roast (about 5-6 pounds, bone-in or boneless)
• 6 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions​

1. Prep the roast: Take the roast out of the fridge and let it come to room temp for about 1 hour. This helps it cook evenly.
2. Make the garlic butter: In a bowl, mix the softened butter, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper until it forms a paste.
3. Rub it down: Drizzle the roast with olive oil, then rub the garlic butter mixture all over it, making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies.
4. Roast it: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan and roast for 20 minutes to get a nice crust.
5. Lower the heat: Reduce the oven to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting until the internal temp reaches 120°F (49°C) for rare, 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, or your preferred doneness. Use a meat thermometer—it’s a lifesaver!
6. Rest: Let the roast rest for at least 20-30 minutes before slicing. This is key for those juicy slices.
   

I like to serve this with creamy mashed potatoes and roasted veggies. The garlic butter drippings make an amazing sauce if you skim off the fat and whisk in a bit of beef stock. Hope you enjoy!
