Use my easy "mathematical method" for cooking prime rib, and you'll be rewarded with the best prime rib that's perfectly pink and delicious. For the math to work, you must leave the beef out at room temperature for at least 6 hours.

Ingredients

  • bone-in prime rib roast (room temperature): 1 piece (4 pound)
  • unsalted butter: 0.25 cup (softened)
  • black pepper: 1 Tbsp (freshly ground)
  • herbes de Provence: 1 tsp
  • kosher salt: (to taste)
