I looked up a few prime rib recipes then winged it on my own as usual.
THESE TIPS were extremely helpful! 450 degs first 15 mins, then 325 degs. I should've added more liquid to the pan because the 450 dried the pan out: I put a little Madeira on the bottom of the pan, rubbed butter on the exposed sides of the meat, and the top/bottom got worcestershire sauce, steak seasoning from a grinder, a little roasted garlic, and fresh rosemary sprigs tied on.
Delish! DC, that recipe looks good, too! I didn't want to start encrusting anything my first time out: next time!
My garlic-smashed pots were awesome, too. My dad said I should be a chef.
