Method
 

Preparation
  1. Fill a large pot or container with warm water and preheat your immersion circulator to 132°F.
  2. Season the prime rib liberally with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Place it in a vacuum seal bag with thyme, garlic, and shallot, seal it, and immerse in the water bath for at least 8 hours (up to 12 hours).
Cooking
  1. Preheat your oven to 500°F.
  2. Once done, remove the bag from the water bath, take out the beef, and pat it dry.
  3. Mix the herb butter ingredients and rub over the prime rib.
  4. Bake until the surface is golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  5. Serve sliced, drizzled with au jus.

Notes

Cooking times can vary based on the thickness of the roast. For optimal tenderness, let it hang out for the full 8 to 12 hours. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for about 3–4 days or frozen for longer storage.
