Ingredients

Instructions

Step 1: Prime Rib Prep

  • Place the prime rib roast on a plate and bring it to room temperature, approximately 4 hours before cooking.

Step 2: Oven Preheating

  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).

Step 3: Herb Butter Infusion

  • In a bowl, combine softened butter, freshly ground black pepper, and herbes de Provence.
  • Mix until well blended.
  • Spread the herb butter mixture evenly over the entire prime rib.
  • Generously season the roast with kosher salt.

Step 4: Roasting Process

  • Roast the 4-pound prime rib in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  • Turn the oven off and, leaving the roast inside with the door closed, let it sit in the oven for 2 hours.
  • Remove the roast from the oven, slice, and serve.

Notes & Wine Advice

Cook’s Note:
Cooking times will vary based on the size of your prime rib roast. To calculate cooking time, multiply the exact weight of the roast by 5. Round the result to the nearest whole number. The rib is cooked at 500 degrees F for exactly that many minutes. For example, a 6-pound roast: 6 x 5 = 30, so cooking time is 30 minutes. Turn the oven off and wait 2 hours before opening the oven door. Slice into the most perfectly medium-rare meat.
