1 Food Prep
Trim any hard fat and silver skin off.
Trim off the bones by following the curve and tie back on for easy removal after cooking (if your butcher hasn’t done this already).
Tie up the prime rib for even cooking.
Generously rub every inch of the meat and bones with the coarse rub and dry brine in the fridge overnight or at least 1 hour.
In a bowl, mix up the paste with softened butter, mayo, Dijon, soy sauce, Worcestershire, garlic and herbs.
Rub the prime rib all over with the paste.
