Step-by-Step Instructions

Allow your prime rib roast to sit at room temperature for about 1 to 2 hours before cooking.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and prepare the seasoning mix.
Generously season the prime rib roast all over with the prepared seasoning mixture.
Place the seasoned roast in the preheated oven and roast it at 450°F for 20 minutes.
Once the desired temperature is reached, let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
Prepare the au jus using the pan drippings, beef broth, and red wine.
Add butter to the simmering au jus, stir until melted, and season as needed.
Slice the prime rib against the grain and serve with the rich au jus.
