Ingredients
- Boneless Rib Roast - 3-4 lbs.
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- ½ cup fresh parsley leaves finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves finely chopped or grated
- 5-6 fresh sage leaves finely chopped
- 2 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 500°F and let the roast come to room temperature before cooking.
- 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.
- Dry the roast very well with paper towels, this helps the butter adhere to the meat better. Rub the compound butter all over the rib roast and place the roast in a cast iron skillet, fat side up.
- Roast at 500°F for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 325°F and continue cooking for 45-50 minutes or until the center reaches an internal temperature of 125° for medium rare.
- Exact timing will depend on how many pounds your roast is, but rule of thumb is 13-14 minutes per pound for medium rare.
- Remove the roast from the oven and let rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
- Cut the roast into ½ inch slices and serve with your favorite side dishes.
