Step-by-Step Instructions for Herb-Crusted Prime Rib Roast

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and pat the prime rib roast dry with paper towels.
Combine dijon mustard with coarse salt and slather it over the meat.
Finely chop fresh rosemary, thyme, and garlic to create the herb mix; blend in softened butter until it resembles a paste.
Coat the roast with the herb mixture, pressing it firmly into the meat.
Place the seasoned roast in a roasting pan, bone side down, and roast for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 325°F (163°C) for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 125°F (52°C).
Remove the roast from the oven and tent loosely with foil; allow it to rest for 20-30 minutes.
Slice against the grain and arrange on a platter for serving.
