Herb-Crusted Prime Rib
Herb-Crusted Prime Rib is a rich and indulgent main course featuring a tender prime rib roast coated with a mixture of fresh herbs, garlic, salt, and pepper. The roast is slow cooked to achieve a golden, flavorful crust and a juicy, tender interior.
Ingredients
- 1 large shallot, coarsely chopped
- 6 garlic cloves, quartered
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary or 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
