Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). In a bowl, mix the roasted garlic, tarragon, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme to create a paste.
- Rub the garlic and herb paste all over the prime rib, ensuring it's evenly coated. Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Place the prime rib on a rack in a roasting pan. Pour the beef broth into the bottom of the pan. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 325°F (165°C). Continue roasting for approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (130°F for medium-rare).
- While the roast is cooking, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped leeks and sauté until softened and slightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed leeks with the remaining softened butter, smoked paprika, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
- Once the prime rib is cooked to your liking, remove it from the oven and tent it with foil. Let it rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
- Slice the prime rib and serve with a generous dollop of smoked leek butter on top.
Notes
For additional flavor, consider adding fresh herbs to the smoked leek butter or serving with a side of roasted vegetables.
