Cut just into the fat pad on top of the meat at a diagonal and then turn the opposite direction and cut again to make a diamond pattern.
6-8 Pound Prime Rib
Rub the salt and pepper all over the meat and place in the fridge for 12-24 hours.
1-2 Tablespoons Kosher Salt, 2 teaspoons Black Pepper
Remove from the fridge and set on the counter for 1 hour.
Heat a skillet over medium high heat and brown each side of the meat.
Remove to a slow cooker fat side up.
Mix the butter, rosemary and garlic and then rub all over the top of the meat.
1 Tablespoons Rosemary, ⅓ Cup Butter, 8 Cloves Garlic
Cook on low for 3-5 hours or until desire temperature is reached. We like medium at 140 degrees, about 3.5 to 4 hours.
Allow to rest with a little foil draped over the top for 20 minutes to 1 hour before slicing.

Prime rib will keep for up to a week in the refrigerator or can be frozen for 1 month.
