Instructions
- 1 Bring rib roast to room temperature, 2 to 6 hours. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
- 2 Mix butter, pepper, and herbes de Provence together in a small bowl until well combined. Spread mixture evenly over roast. Season generously with salt.
- 3 Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. If your roast is larger or smaller than 4 pounds, multiply the exact weight times 5 minutes and adjust cooking time accordingly.
- 4 Turn the oven off; do not open the door. Leave roast in the oven for 2 hours. The trapped oven heat will finish cooking the roast.
