Perfect Prime Rib

 Prime Rib Roast is an occasion dinner staple. If you want to know how to cook a delicious tender roast with a tasty fresh herb crust and heavenly rich wine sauce, all that you need to know is right here. This recipe is adaptable to any size roast, boneless or bone-in.

 

Ingredients:

4 pounds prime rib roast

¼ cup unsalted butter softened

1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper

 

 

Place the rib roast on a plate and set aside for 4 hours to come to room temperature.

Set the oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit (260 degrees Celsius).

In a mixing bowl, combine the butter, pepper, and herbs de Provence; mix well. Distribute the butter mixture evenly over the entire roast. Season the roast liberally with kosher salt.

Roast the 4-pound prime rib for 20 minutes in a preheated oven (see footnote if using a larger and smaller roast). Turn off the oven and leave the roast in the oven with the door closed for 2 hours. Take the roast out of the oven, slice it, and serve.
