Herb Crusted Boneless Rib Roast

Step 1

Pre-heat the oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit and let the roast come to room temperature before cooking.

Step 2

Make the Herb Compound butter. To a bowl, add the softened butter, chopped parsley, chopped sage, grated garlic, Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper and mix well so everything is incorporated evenly.

Step 3

Dry the roast very well with paper towels, this helps the butter adhere to the meat better. Rub the herb compound butter all over the rib roast and place the roast in a cast iron skillet, fat side up.

Step 4

Roast at 500 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and continue cooking for 45-50 or until the center reaches an internal temperature of 125 degrees Fahrenheit for medium rare. *Note: exact timing will depend on how many pounds your roast is, but rule of thumb is 13-14 minutes per pound for medium rare.

Step 5

Remove the roast from the oven and let rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

Step 6

Cut the roast into 1/2 inch slices and serve with your favorite side dishes.
