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

Directions:
Step 1:
Place rib roast on a plate and bring to room temperature, about 4 hours

Step 2:
Preheat oven to 500 degrees F

Step 3:
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.

Step 4:
Roast the 4-pound prime rib 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.

Note: Your cooking time 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 roast is cooked at 500 degrees F for exactly that many minutes. For example, a 6 pound roast: 6 x 5=30, so cooking time is 30 minutes. Turn the oven off and wait 2 hours before opening the oven door.
