Prime rib can be intimidating to try and make and home, but it's actually really easy! This holiday prime rib recipe is really a food proof way to get the best holiday dinner ever.
Take the standing rib roast out of the refrigerator and place it in the roasting pan. Let it come to temperature (about 30 minutes). Pre-heat an oven to 450 degrees.
Combine beef tallow, pepper, and herbes de Provence in a bowl; mix until well blended. Spread butter mixture evenly over the entire roast. Season roast generously with kosher salt.
Roast 30 minutes, then reduce heat to 350º and cook 1 hour 30 minutes more for medium-rare. (Plan on about 15 minutes per pound.)
Remove roast from oven and let rest 20 minutes.
To serve, slice along ribs to remove them, then separate each rib and put them aside. Slice the roast crossways against the grain. Serve on a platter with the ribs.
