Prime rib roast recipe

Ingredients: 1 (4-pound) bone-in prime rib roast (room temperature) ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence 1 tablespoon kosher salt Instructions: Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C). Prepare the Roast: Rub the softened butter over the entire roast. Season generously with salt, pepper, and herbes de Provence. Roast: Place the roast bone-side down in a roasting pan. Cook at 500°F for 15 minutes. Lower Temperature: Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue to roast for about 10-12 minutes per pound for rare, 13-14 minutes per pound for medium-rare, or 14-15 minutes per pound for medium-well. Check Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. Aim for 115-120°F for rare, 125-130°F for medium-rare, and 135-140°F for medium. Rest: Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for at least 20 minutes before carving. The internal temperature will continue to rise slightly during this time. Tips: Room Temperature: Make sure the roast is at room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking. Resting: Letting the meat rest after cooking is crucial for juicy, tender results.
