- 2 sticks butter softened, not melted
- 1 tbsp garlic powder

Instructions
- Remove the butchers twine if it came on it (but save to reattach). Then salt it down all over inside and outside. (Cut the ribs away from the meat a little if it wasn’t already done from the butcher)On a sheet pan, generously salt the prime rib all over and place in the fridge uncovered, overnight to dry out for a crispy crust!
- The next day move the meat to a roasting pan, ribs side down if you don’t have a rack.
- Cut small slits in the roast and insert garlic and rosemary. Rub compound butter all over the meat.
- Bake at 500°F for 15 minutes. (Be sure it’s been preheated for at least 10 minutes)
