The Grinch carved the roast beast!

Ok, so dh (dear husband) isn't really a grinch. He just likes to keep me on budget, but anyway, quite nearly his favorite meal these days is a good roast beef. I, on the other hand, am not so fond of roasts. Last weekend, we tried one and even he wasn't so fond of my cooking skills. Ironically enough, the "rub" recipe that I gave my dad (after doing a google search) was raved about for weeks.

Today I was brave enough to again attempt a roast. I used the recipe for the rub that I gave my dad, and it was fabulous! Both dh and I loved it!

Prime Rib Herb Paste

from Ziggy at about.com

This is a great rub to put on prime rib. (We used eye of round.)The combination of flavors with the olive oil make a good slow roasted rib roast perfect. Whether you are roasting, grilling or smoking this is a great rub.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil (We used all dried spices that we had on hand)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary (We didn't have rosemary at all)
  
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 1-1/2 tablespoons Lawry's Seasoned Salt
• 1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt blend (It wouldn't be one of our meals without it!)
  

PREPARATION:

Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth and even. Spread evenly over the surface of the (prime rib) roast.




Also, note to self. While waiting for roast to cook, don't overindulge in Sour Patch Kids and then think nothing of eating a tomato chunk. Your tongue will hate you. End note.
