Prime rib roast is a bone-in beef roast that is usually served for special occasions and holidays. This recipe features a delicious crust made with Dijon mustard, herbs, and spices that complement the flavor of the beef perfectly. The roast is roasted at high temperature to sear the outside and lock in the juices, then finished at a lower temperature to ensure the meat is cooked to perfection. The result is a tender, flavorful, and juicy roast that is sure to impress your guests.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
2.	In a small saucepan, combine Dijon mustard, olive oil, juniper berries, fennel seed, thyme, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
3.	Place the prime rib roast in a roasting pan, fat side up. Brush the mustard and herb mixture all over the roast.
4.	Roast the beef for 20 minutes at 450°F (230°C).
5.	Reduce the heat to 325°F (160°C) and continue roasting for about 2 hours or until the internal temperature of the beef reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
6.	Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite side dishes.
