Remove the prime rib from the refrigerator at least 2 hours prior to cooking to bring it to room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C). Place a rack in a large roasting pan.
In a small bowl, mix kosher salt, black pepper, minced garlic, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, onion powder, and garlic powder to form a paste.
Pat the prime rib dry with paper towels and place it on the roasting rack in the pan. Rub the herb paste evenly over the entire roast, ensuring full coverage.
Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast, avoiding the bone.
Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and roast the prime rib at 250°F (120°C) for approximately 25-30 minutes per pound, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 120°F (49°C) for medium rare.
Once the desired temperature is reached, remove the roast from the oven and tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 30 minutes. The internal temperature will rise as it rests.
Just before serving, increase the oven temperature to 500°F (260°C). Return the roast to the oven for 8-10 minutes to create a golden-brown crust.
Carve the prime rib into slices and serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, sautéed green beans, or horseradish sauce.
