Bring to Room Temperature
Remove the roast from the refrigerator and let sit to bring to room temperature for about 2 hours.Preheat & Prep
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter with the salt, pepper, and herbs until well combined. Pat the rib roast dry and rub the butter evenly on all sides of the roast.Roast on High Heat
Place the roast in a large roasting pan or cast iron, bone side down. Transfer to the oven and roast for about 20 minutes or until a sear develops on the bottom and the surface is browning.Roast on Low Heat
Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Continue roasting until the internal temperature of the roast reaches 120 degrees Fahrenheit for medium rare or 135 degrees for medium. Depending on the size of the roast, your oven, and desired doneness, this will take approximately 1 to 2 hours. Check it at the 1 hour mark and take the temperature.Rest & Slice
