Prime Rib Seasoning
This prime rib seasoning is simple to make and adds the perfect coating to your roast. With this spice blend, you'll get a beautifully crusted prime rib and incredibly flavorful pan drippings.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of kosher salt*
- 1 tablespoon black pepper, coarsely ground
- 1 ½ teaspoons dried thyme, or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (chopped)
- 1 ½ teaspoons dried rosemary, or 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
Instructions
- Mix together the salt*, black pepper, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Mix until combined.
- Spread the spice mixture evenly on your seasoned prime rib before cooking. Alternatively, you can store the mixture in a jar and store it until you are ready to use it.
Notes
- Yields: This recipe makes 4 tablespoons of prime rib rub (including the salt), enough for a 7 lbs prime rib roast. You can multiply the recipe if you are cooking a larger roast.
- Kosher Salt: We used Diamond kosher salt in this recipe. If you are using Morton kosher salt, please use half the amount.
- Make it a wet rub: If you choose to make a wet rub, I recommend using an oil with a high smoking point, such as avocado oil, olive oil, or ghee, to avoid burning. I would recommend using 4-5 tablespoons of oil for a 7-pound prime rib. Additionally, you can add a teaspoon (or two) of Dijon mustard for a tangy flavor.
- Storage: This spice mix will store well in a small jar for up to 2 months if you use dried herbs. If you use fresh herbs, it should be used within 2-3 days of making it.
