Remove the prime rib from the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for about 1 hour to ensure even cooking.
Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).
In a small bowl, mix together kosher salt, black pepper, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, olive oil, and softened butter to form a paste.
Pat the prime rib dry with paper towels and rub the seasoning paste evenly over the entire roast, making sure to coat all sides.
Place the prime rib on a roasting rack set inside a large roasting pan, bone-side down.
Roast the prime rib in the preheated oven at 450°F (232°C) for 20 minutes to develop a flavorful crust.
Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C). Continue roasting the prime rib until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 120°F (49°C) for medium-rare, or your desired level of doneness. This should take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the size of the roast.
Remove the roast from the oven and loosely tent it with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 20-30 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Carve the prime rib into slices and serve warm, garnished with additional rosemary if desired.
