For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal live. John 3:16 (NIV)

Prime rib is delicious, juicy, and succulent all on its own, but if you want to really kick up your next prime rib a notch or two, try one of these rubs to really bring out the flavor of the meat and the cooking process. Rubs are simple to make, they are just a mixture of seasonings and spices that you mix together and then rub on the outside of the meat before you cook it. You can cook the meat immediately, or you can wrap it in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator overnight to really enhance the flavors of the rub.

You can buy pre-made rib rubs, but they are so easy and quick to make, you can make your own in less than five minutes, and you can control the amount of salt and fat in them if you make your own, too. Use Kosher or sea salt for a much fresher and lighter salty taste than regular iodized table salt.
