Ingredients<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Prime Rib (Standing Rib Roast):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 1 (5\u20136 lb) bone-in prime rib roast (2 bones)
\u00b7 1 tbsp kosher salt (dry brine)
\u00b7 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Herb Crust:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 \u00bc cup Dijon mustard (binder)
\u00b7 4 cloves garlic, minced
\u00b7 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
\u00b7 2 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
\u00b7 1 tbsp fresh sage, finely chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
\u00b7 2 tsp black pepper, coarsely ground
\u00b7 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional, for color)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Instructions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Dry-Brine (Crucial for Flavor)
    Pat the roast completely dry. Score the fat cap in a crosshatch pattern (avoid cutting into the meat). Rub 1 tbsp kosher salt all over. Place uncovered on a wire rack in a baking sheet. Refrigerate overnight (12\u201324 hrs).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Reverse Sear \u2013 Low & Slow
    Remove roast from fridge 2 hrs before cooking to take the chill off. Preheat oven to 250\u00b0F (120\u00b0C). Rub softened butter all over, then slather with mustard. Mix remaining crust ingredients and press firmly onto all surfaces. Roast until internal temp reaches 120\u2013125\u00b0F (rare-med rare) for medium-rare, about 3\u20133.5 hrs. Remove and rest for 30 minutes (temp will rise to 130\u2013135\u00b0F). Do not skip this rest.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The Sear \u2013 Blast of Heat
    Increase oven to 500\u00b0F (260\u00b0C) or use broiler. Return roast for 6\u201310 mins until the crust is dark and sizzling. Watch closely to prevent burning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Slice & Serve
    Rest for 10 more minutes. Slice against the bone into thick \u00be-inch steaks. Pour accumulated pan juices over the top.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Chef\u2019s Notes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u00b7 Bones vs. Boneless: Boneless cooks faster (approx. 15 mins\/lb at 250\u00b0F). Reduce initial cook time by ~20 mins.
    \u00b7 No Thermometer? This is non-negotiable\u2014get an instant-read. Your hand cannot feel 120\u00b0F through 5 lbs of meat.
    \u00b7 Make-Ahead: You can prep the herb rub up to 2 days ahead. Keep covered in the fridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    What to Serve With<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u00b7 Creamy horseradish sauce
    \u00b7 Au jus (deglaze the pan with beef broth after searing)
    \u00b7 Yorkshire puddings or creamy mashed potatoes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
