Directions

Place the prime rib on a large plate and let it sit at room temperature for 2–4 hours. This is critical for even cooking — don’t skip this step!
Set your oven to 500°F (260°C) and make sure it’s fully preheated before roasting.
In a bowl, mix softened butter, black pepper, and herbes de Provence. Rub this mixture evenly over the roast, covering all sides. Generously sprinkle with kosher salt.
Multiply the exact weight of your roast by 5 minutes to find your roasting time. (Example: 4 pounds x 5 = 20 minutes.)
Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan and cook in the preheated oven for the exact time you calculated (e.g., 20 minutes for 4 pounds).
Turn Off the Oven — Do Not Open the Door!
Once the initial roasting time is done, turn off the oven and leave the roast inside for 2 hours without opening the door. The residual heat finishes the cooking process to a perfect medium-rare.
Remove the roast, slice thickly, and serve with beef au jus or horseradish sauce for the ultimate dining experience.

Recipe Note

Chef Tips

Room Temperature Is Key: If your roast is cold, the timing formula won’t work. Let it sit out for at least 5–6 hours if it’s larger than 5 pounds.
Use a Meat Thermometer: Insert a probe-style thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 125°F for medium-rare.
Don’t Peek: Opening the oven door releases heat and can throw off the cooking time. Trust the process!
For Older Ovens: If your oven cools too quickly, preheat again briefly at 275°F after one hour, then turn it off for the final 30 minutes.

Serving Suggestions

This perfect prime rib roast pairs beautifully with classic side dishes such as:
Creamy mashed potatoes or garlic butter potatoes
Roasted asparagus or green beans almondine
Yorkshire pudding or dinner rolls
Horseradish cream or red wine au jus
Serve it as the star of your holiday feast, Sunday dinner, or date-night menu — and watch everyone’s faces light up!

Storage & Reheating

Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Freeze: Slice and freeze for up to 2 months in freezer-safe bags.
Reheat: Warm slices gently in a 275°F oven for 10–15 minutes, covered loosely with foil, to preserve juiciness.
