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.

Time 6h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 pounds prime rib roast
ΒΌ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
kosher salt

Steps:

  • 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.

I'm not a big fan of horseradish, so I omitted it from the recipe. The meat was still very flavorful and delicious.

I've tried this recipe several times and I've never been able to get the meat cooked to perfection. It's always either overcooked or undercooked.
