The search for the perfect piece of meat has ended. The grade is "Prime", the meat is "rib" and the fat is marbled throughout the entire cut. Here is the perfect rub and recipe for cooking prime rib.
Instructions
Make the Rub
1. Combine, garlic, basil, oregano, parsley and olive oil.
2. Blend in a food processor or blender until smooth.
3. Spread evenly over all the surfaces of the meat.
4. Rub into meat until the meat seems to absorb any dripping, but is still moist.
Cook the Prime Rib
5. Coat the entire piece of prime rib in rock salt to create a crust.
6. Place in a shallow pan.
7. Insert the meat thermometer into center of prime rib.
8. Place in an unheated oven with roast sitting in the center of the middle shelf.
