This recipe offers a flavorful and tender prime rib roast with a delightful herb crust, perfect for special occasions.
Place the prime rib roast on a plate and allow it to come to room temperature for about 4 hours.
Bringing the roast to room temperature ensures even cooking throughout.
Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C).
A high initial temperature helps to create a flavorful crust on the roast.
In a mixing bowl, combine the butter, black pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Mix until well blended.
Softened butter mixes more easily with the herbs and spices.
Spread the herb butter mixture evenly over the entire surface of the roast. Season generously with kosher salt.
Ensure the butter mixture covers all sides of the roast for maximum flavor.
Place the roast in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave the roast inside without opening the door for 2 hours.
Do not open the oven door during the resting period to maintain the temperature.
Remove the roast from the oven, slice it into portions, and serve.
Let the roast rest for a few minutes before slicing to retain its juices.
