Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). In a small bowl, mix the smoked garlic, crushed mustard seeds, kosher salt, black pepper, and olive oil to form a paste. Rub this mixture all over the prime rib, ensuring it is evenly coated.
- Place the prime rib on a rack in a roasting pan, bone side down. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes to develop a crust. Lower the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, or to desired doneness. Remove from the oven and let it rest for at least 20 minutes before carving.
- While the prime rib is resting, combine the dark cherry juice, red wine, balsamic vinegar, and honey in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and reduce the mixture by half, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 15-20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter and chopped rosemary. Using a hand mixer or whisk, whip until fluffy and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Slice the prime rib and serve it drizzled with the dark cherry reduction. Add a dollop of whipped rosemary butter on the side for extra flavor.
Notes
For a twist, try adding a splash of orange juice to the cherry reduction for a citrusy note.
