Ingredients

  • 1 (4 pound) bone-in prime rib roast, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
  • Kosher salt, to taste

Directions

  • Place the prime rib on a plate and allow it to come to room temperature for 2–4 hours (6 hours is ideal).
  • Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C).
  • In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, black pepper, and herbes de Provence. Spread evenly over the roast and season generously with kosher salt.
  • Roast the 4-pound prime rib in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. For different-sized roasts, multiply the weight in pounds by 5 minutes to calculate the roasting time.
  • Turn off the oven without opening the door and leave the roast inside for 2 hours, allowing residual heat to finish cooking.
  • Remove the roast, slice, and serve immediately.
