Place rib roast on a plate and bring to room
temperature, about 4 hours.
Preheat an oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees
C).
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.
Roast the 4-pound prime rib (see footnote if
using a larger and smaller roast) in the
preheated oven for 20 minutes. 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. Remove roast from the oven, slice, and
serve.
Footnotes
Cook's Note-
Your cooking times will vary depending on the
size of your prime rib roast. To calculate your
cooking time, multiply the exact weight of the
roast by 5. Round the resulting number to the
nearest whole number. The rib is cooked at 500
degrees F for exactly that many minutes. For
example, for a 6 pound roast- 6x5=30, so cooking
time is 30 minutes. Turn the oven off and wait 2
hours before opening the oven door. Remove the
prime rib and slice into the most perfectly
medium-rare meat you've ever seen.
