Rosemary-Garlic Prime Rib Rub

Prime Rib Butter Rub

Prime rib rub ingredients:

  • Unsalted butter (Irish or Danish style butter recommended. European butters contain 85% butter fat, which means it’s creamy and much more flavorful than standard butter.)
  • Garlic minced (substitute with 1 1/4 teaspoons garlic powder, or 1 1/2 tablespoons minced shallots)
  • Olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • Fresh rosemary
  • Black pepper (fresh cracked or 16-gauge)
  • Soy sauce (use Tamari for gluten-free option)
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • Dried marjoram (substitute with dried of fresh thyme)

Making and using it

The beauty of this rosemary-garlic prime rib rub is that it can be made quickly! Here are the steps:

  • Combine softened butter, olive oil, and minced garlic. Add soy and Worcestershire sauces into the butter mixture. 
  • Stir in black pepper and rosemary.
  • Apply the mixture evenly to the bone-in beef roast. Cook as directed. See below for resting butter method.
  • This garlic herb butter can be prepared ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week before use. 
  • Let the mixture come to room temperature before using. Remember that softened butter results in easier application. Pair this butter rub with our Prime Rib Injection Marinade recipe.

Use it as a resting butter

  • Using this rub as a resting butter is a great option for roasts cooked low and slow in the smoker.
  • Season your prime rib with a dry rub and cook it in your smoker. Once the roast reaches an internal temperature of 125-130 degrees F. (medium-rare), remove it from the smoker and gently apply the herb butter to the surface.
  • Let the meat rest for 30 minutes. The residual heat will melt the butter, coating the entirety of the roast.
  • Slice and serve. The meat will have a fantastic buttery and smoky flavor.
