Chef John's Perfect Prime Rib image

This is a specific formula for achieving a perfectly pink prime rib cooked somewhere a shade under medium rare. To use this method you must have a full-sized, modern oven with a digital temperature setting that indicates when it is preheated. Older ovens with manual controls can vary greatly, and the doors may not have the proper insulation.

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 pounds prime rib roast
ΒΌ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place rib roast on a plate and bring to room temperature, about 4 hours.
