Herb Rubbed Prime Rib | This juicy flavorful Prime Rib is for when you want to pull out all the stops and celebrate in style! If you served Turkey for Thanksgiving change it up for Christmas with beef!

The homemade rub for the Prime Rib does all the work! It gives the meat delicious flavor. Cut small slits in the meat so that the rub melts into it. Delicious, juicy and tender. I also added a recipe for a Creamy Horseradish dip. I’m not a fan of horseradish but I really liked this dip. For those of you that love horseradish you’ll probably want to add more of it to your portion. That’s what my daughter did. Serve this with my Brown Butter Brussels Sprouts, Creamy Slow Cooker Scalloped Potatoes or Roasted Vegetable Salad.
