Slow Roasted Prime Rib

1. 1

   Allow beef roast to come to room temperature before cooking (about 2 hours out of the frig.).

2. 2

   In small bowl, blend butter with salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, and garlic. Spread butter mixture evenly over all side of roast.

3. 3

   Preheat oven to 325 degrees and place rack in center of oven.

4. 4

   Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat for one minute. Sear roast in skillet on all sides until well-browned (about 8-10 minutes). Transfer roast, bone-side down, to a roasting pan with rack.

5. 5

   Roast beef until thermometer inserted in center reads 125 degrees for rare (about 2 hours), 135 degreed for medium-rare, (about 2 1/4 hours), or 145 degrees for medium (about 2 1/2 hours). Let meat rest at least 15 minutes before carving.
