Prime Rib 
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons dried thyme
6 garlic cloves, minced
salt and pepper, to taste
Prime Rib Roast, (room temperature, very important !!)
Au Jus (see below)
Horseradish sauce (see below)

1 - In a small bowl combine mustard, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper. Spread generously on roast.

2 - Preheat oven to 500°.

3 - How long to cook in the oven?  That is easy! Multiply the total roast poundage by 5 minutes.  Be as accurate as possible.
example: the roast weighs 5.53 pounds. Multiply 5.53 (pounds) times 5 (minutes) which equals = 27.65. This means the meat will roast for (27.65) or almost 28 minutes at 500°. After 28 minutes immediately turn oven temperature off.  Do not open oven door during the next 2 hours the roast is still cooking. 

This method will cook any size prime rib roast to perfection... rare to medium rare inside the way it should be with a crispy outer crust. Serve
beef roast with au jus and horseradish sauce.
