This Prime Rib Rub is a simple yet flavorful seasoning blend designed to enhance the taste and tenderness of prime rib. With a high salt content to help tenderize the meat, it features kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme, creating a robust and aromatic rub perfect for roasting prime rib.

Ingredients

Prime Rib Rub

  • ½ cup Kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • ½ tablespoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, mix kosher salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  2. Store the Rub: Transfer the mixed rub into an airtight container or jar and seal it tightly. Store in a cool, dry place until ready to use.
  3. Apply to Meat: Generously rub the seasoning blend over the prime rib before cooking to season and tenderize the meat. Adjust salt content and other spices based on preference.

Notes

  • The high salt content helps season and tenderize the meat but can be adjusted according to dietary needs.
  • Feel free to add more dried thyme or substitute it with rosemary or other herbs for different flavor variations.
  • If you prefer a stronger peppery heat, increase the amount of black pepper in the rub.
