Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Combine butter, pepper, and herbes de Provence in a bowl; mix until well blended. Spread butter mixture evenly over entire roast. Season roast generously with kosher salt.
Step 2
Remove roast from the oven, slice, and serve.
Step 3
Roast the 4-pound roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. (If your roast is larger or smaller than 4 pounds, multiply the exact weight times 5 minutes.)
Step 4
Turn the oven off and, leaving the roast in the oven with the door closed, let the roast sit in the oven for 2 hours.
Step 5
Gather the ingredients. Place prime rib roast on a plate and bring to room temperature, 2 to 4 hours. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).

Ingredients

  • kosher salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
