Ingredients
for 7 servings
- 1 cup butter (230 g), softened
 - 7 cloves garlic, minced
 - 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
 - 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
 - 2 tablespoons salt
 - 1 tablespoon pepper
 - 5 lb boneless ribeye roast (2.2 kg), trimmed
 - 2 tablespoons flour
 - 2 cups beef stock (475 mL)
 - mashed potato, for serving
 - green bean, for serving
 
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C).
 - Mix together the butter, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until evenly combined.
 - Rub the herb butter all over the rib roast, then place on a roasting tray with a rack.
 - Bake for 5 minutes per pound (10 minutes per kilo) of meat, 25 minutes for a 5-pound (2.2 kg) roast.
 - Turn off the heat and let the rib roast sit in the oven for 2 hours, making sure you do not open the oven door or else the residual heat will escape.
 - Once the 2 hours are up, remove the roast from the pan and pour the pan drippings into a saucepan over medium heat.
 - Add the flour, whisking until there are no lumps, then add the beef stock, stirring and bringing the sauce to a boil.
 - Remove from heat and strain the sauce into a gravy dish.
 - Carve the prime rib into ¾-inch (20-mm)-thick slices.
 - Serve with the mashed potatoes, green beans, and the pan sauce.
 - Enjoy!
