Ingredients

For the Prime Rib

1 (6-8 pound) bone-in prime rib roast
1/4 cup Revolution Barbecue I’m Your Huckleberry Cowboy Rub
1/4 cup olive oil or beef tallow
2 heads garlic, halved
4 large carrots, cut into large chunks
2 large onions, quartered
4-5 stalks celery, cut into large pieces
Fresh rosemary and thyme sprigs, for garnish

For the Gorgonzola Butter

1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
1/2 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C) and let the prime rib sit out at room temperature for 1-2 hours.
Rub the roast all over with olive oil or beef tallow, then coat it generously with I’m Your Huckleberry Cowboy Rub, pressing it firmly to form a flavorful crust. The coffee and chili in the rub will give the beef a smoky depth that’s uniquely rich.
Arrange the garlic heads, carrots, onions, and celery in the bottom of a roasting pan, creating a bed for the roast. Place the prime rib on top of the vegetables, bone-side down. The vegetables will soak up the meat’s juices and add a delicious, caramelized flavor.
Roast at 450°F for 25-30 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C). Continue roasting for 2-3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 120°F (49°C) for rare or 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
While the roast cooks, make the gorgonzola butter by combining softened butter with crumbled gorgonzola cheese in a small bowl. Set aside.
Once the roast reaches your target temperature, remove it from the oven and tent it loosely with foil. Let it rest for 20-30 minutes to keep the juices locked in.
Serve thick slices of prime rib with a spoonful of gorgonzola butter on top, surrounded by the roasted vegetables and garlic. Garnish with fresh rosemary and thyme for an added touch of color and aroma.
