Steps:
- Remove the prime rib from the fridge 2-3 hours before cooking, and allow it to come to room temperature.
- Preheat your oven to 450F/230C. In a small bowl, mix together the butter, garlic, salt, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper.
- After the prime rib has come to room temperature, pat it down with paper towels to make sure it's dry. Then rub the entire outside of the prime rib with the herb butter mixture.
- Place the prime rib in an oven-safe pan or roasting tray with the bones-side down, fat-side up. Place the onion slices in the pan around the meat, if you're making the red wine au jus. If not, you can omit the onions.
- Cook the prime rib in the center of the oven for 20 minutes at 450F. It should get a nice sear on the outside. If not, cook it a few minutes longer. Then reduce the temperature of the oven to 325F and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 120F (about an hour and a half), for medium-rare. But go by temperature, not time, as it will depend on the size of your prime rib and your oven.
- Remove the prime rib from the oven and let it rest for 20-30 minutes. You can tent it with aluminum foil to keep it warm. Then, remove the string and bones, and slice it up into thick 1/2" slices.
- After you've removed the fat from the pan, add up to 1/4 cup of drippings back in along with the beef broth and red wine. If you have leftover herbs, you can toss those in as well.
- Simmer this for about 15 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced by half. It's meant to be a thin sauce, but if you'd like to add a little bit of a thickener, you can do that as well. Strain the au jus to remove the onion and any browned bits, then drizzle over the prime rib.

HERB-CRUSTED PRIME RIB RECIPE
Bored with the usual (but delicious) roast chickens and glazed hams for Christmas dinner? This year, choose a juicy and succulent piece of beef to feed your guests. Add a touch of rustic elegance to your presentation of this prime rib for your holiday dinner. Instead of arranging a garland of herbs around the platter, garnish the sliced roast with a few loose "bouquets" of herbs, such as rosemary, lavender, or thyme, inspired by the herbes de Provence used in the aromatic blend. Rub you're roast the night before, which allows the spices, salt, pepper to absorb into the roast itself, seasoning it throughout. Always let your roast chill uncovered. This air-drying time primes up the exterior for getting very evenly browned and charred in the oven. Temperature is KEY. Starting your roast HIGH and finishing LOW is the way to successfully roast this quality cut of meat.

Steps:
- Rub rib roast evenly with oil. Stir together herbes de Provence, 4 teaspoons of the salt, and 2 teaspoons of the pepper in a small bowl. Spread mixture evenly over roast. Chill, uncovered, at least 12 hours or up to 24 hours.
- Let roast stand at room temperature 1 hour. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 450°F with rack in lowest position.
- Lightly coat a wire rack with cooking spray; set inside a roasting pan. Place roast, bone side down, on prepared rack. Bake in preheated oven on lowest oven rack 45 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (do not remove roast from oven). Continue baking until a thermometer inserted in thickest portion of roast registers 120°F to 130°F for medium-rare (about 1 hour, 30 minutes) or 130°F to 135°F for medium (about 1 hour, 45 minutes). Remove from oven; let rest 30 minutes. Transfer roast to a serving platter, and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. Discard drippings from pan, reserving any browned bits in pan.
- Place roasting pan on stove-top over 1 burner. Add butter to pan, and melt over medium-high, stirring occasionally and moving pan as needed to prevent hot spots. Add shallots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in wine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is mostly reduced, about 3 minutes. Stir in broth. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in mustard. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens and reduces to 1 1/2 cups, about 5 minutes. Stir in remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pour sauce into a serving bowl or gravy boat. Garnish roast with herb sprigs, and serve with sauce.

Steps:
- Pat the prime rib dry with paper towels. Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 1 day and up to 3 days to age the meat.
- At least 4 hours and up to 1 day before serving, mix the horseradish, creme fraiche, vinegar and sugar together; season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F. Toss the rosemary, sage and thyme with the oil, and arrange on the bottom of a roasting pan. Season the prime rib generously with salt and pepper, then set it on top of the herbs.
- Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the prime rib registers 125 degrees F, 3 hours 15 minutes to 4 hours. Remove from the oven and let rest at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
- Increase the oven temperature to 500 degrees F. Right before serving, return the rested prime rib to the oven and roast until the outside is browned and caramelized, about 10 minutes.

Tips:
- To ensure a perfectly cooked prime rib, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, aim for 135 degrees Fahrenheit (57 degrees Celsius).
- Allow the prime rib to rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
- For a crispy crust, sear the prime rib in a hot skillet before roasting. This will also help to lock in the juices.
- Use a variety of fresh herbs in the sauce, such as rosemary, thyme, and sage. This will add a delicious and aromatic flavor to the dish.
- Serve the prime rib with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or Yorkshire pudding.
Conclusion:
Prime rib is a classic and delicious dish that is perfect for special occasions. With careful preparation and cooking, you can create a restaurant-quality prime rib at home. The fresh herb sauce adds an extra layer of flavor and complexity to this already impressive dish.
