Black Magic Brown Butter Prime Rib

Ingredients

  • 4 lb Prime Rib Roast (bone-in or boneless)

  • 3 Tbsp Spiceology Black Magic Cajun Blend

  • ¼ cup Kosher Salt

  • ½ cup (1 stick) Unsalted Butter

  • Canola Oil, as needed

Directions

  1. Pat the prime rib dry with paper towels. Rub lightly with canola oil, coat evenly with salt, then generously dust with Black Magic.

  2. Rest uncovered in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (up to 24 for deeper flavor).

  3. Preheat oven to 225°F. Set roast on a rack over a sheet pan. Roast until the internal temperature hits 105°F (about 2 hours).

  4. Melt butter in a pan until nutty and golden brown. Crank oven to 450°F. Brush roast generously with brown butter and sear until internal temp reaches 125°F.

  5. Let rest for 15–20 minutes until it coasts to 135°F (medium rare perfection). Slice, drizzle with the remaining brown butter, and serve.

Black Magic Brown Butter Prime Rib FAQs (Because This Roast Deserves Respect)

Oh yes. Low and slow is what gives this roast its juicy interior and deep, beefy flavor. The patience pays off big time when every slice comes out tender, rich, and perfectly pink.

Brown butter brings nutty, toasty richness that amplifies the beef and plays dangerously well with Black Magic’s smoky, spicy edge. It’s the difference between great and unforgettable.

Absolutely. If you want more control over seasoning or are cooking for salt-sensitive guests, the salt-free version delivers the same bold Cajun flavor without compromising intensity.
