Equipment

  • Airtight Container

Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon crushed fennel seeds
  • 2 teaspoons smoked Spanish paprika or regular paprika
  • 2 tablespoons cracked black peppercorns
  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian herb mix
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion granules
  • 3 tablespoons coarse Kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated garlic

Instructions
 

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

  • First things first! Collect all the ingredients listed above. You don’t want to find yourself halfway through and realize you’re missing something.

Step 2: Measure and Mix

  • In a small mixing bowl, measure out each ingredient. Use a spoon to break up any clumps, especially in the dried herbs.

Step 3: Combine

  • Now, it's time for the fun part! Use a whisk or a fork to combine the ingredients thoroughly. The goal is to break up any large pieces and ensure an even distribution of flavors.

Step 4: Store

  • If you aren't using the rub right away, transfer it to an airtight container. This keeps it fresh and ready for your next cooking adventure.

Step 5: Apply the Rub

  • When you're ready to cook your prime rib, simply rub the seasoning all over the meat. Be generous! The more surface area you cover, the more flavor you’ll lock in.

Notes

Room Temperature: Let the prime rib sit at room temperature for about an hour before cooking. This helps it cook evenly.
Use Fresh Ingredients: Always opt for fresh herbs and spices. They provide a stronger flavor kick than older counterparts.
Adjust to Taste: Feel free to tweak the rub according to your preferences. If you love garlic, add more! Prefer something milder? Cut back on the black pepper.
Resting Time Matters: After cooking, let your prime rib rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.
Experiment with Different Meats: This rub isn’t just for prime rib. Try it on steaks or even pork roasts!
