Garlic and Rosemary Prime Rib Mash

A super awesome wet rub for a prime rib roast. I always do this on a bbq, haven't tried it in the oven, but would probably work well too.

Ingredients

- 5lb Prime rib roast, or larger depending on number of people. (Usually use bone out). If you are using bone in, two ribs per person should be plenty.
- 8 to 10 cloves garlic
- 1 to 2 tbs fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbs horseradish
- Salt & Pepper

Directions

Take the meat out of the fridge about 1 hour before you want to put it on the grill.

Prep you grill/bbq for indirect cooking (flame on one side, meat on the other side). You want to start out hot, then bring it down to med-low after about 20-30 mins, when you have some nice color happening.

In a skillet, heat the olive oil on medium-high. Add the garlic cloves and cook until they are starting to brown a bit, then add the fresh rosemary and season with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Cook for another couple minutes and then transfer to a bowl (including the oil), or mortar if you have one.

Let cool a bit, add horseradish and mash it all up with a fork, or pestle.

Take your mash and smear it all over your roast. You can give it another hit of salt and fresh cracked pepper if you like.

Put it on the grill, and close the lid. If you have some wood chips, throw those in to for some smoke.

When you reach about 120 degrees you can pull it off (for rare). Tent it with foil and let it rest for 20 minutes. Carve it up and serve with horseradish and enjoy the compliments!
