Purée the garlic, rosemary, sage, thyme, mustard, Worcestershire, 1-1/2 tsp. salt, and 1 tsp. pepper with the solidified browned butter in a food processor to make a thick paste. Reserve 1/4 cup of the butter and rub the rest all over the roast. Put the roast fat side up on a rack set in a roasting pan and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour before roasting.
Roast the beef
Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 300°F. Roast the beef until an instant-read thermometer registers 110°F for rare, about 1-1/2 hours, or 115°F for medium rare, about 10 minutes more. Remove the roast from the oven. Let sit, tented loosely with foil, for up to 2 hours (or continue with the recipe).

To sear in the oven:Heat the oven to 475°F. Roast until 125°F for rare or 130°F for medium rare, about 10 minutes.
Rave reviews from my dinner guests. This was truly one of the best prime rib recipes ever. I followed it pretty precisely. I did rest it 2 hours, it reached 125 after removing from the oven, and I only took it back to 118. It was rare but perfect!!

Fabulous flavor ! I too found that the roast took longer to reach the first temperature; possibly it had not been at room temperature for the whole hour, or maybe my fridge runs cold. I seared mine in the oven, but found 130F (on two different thermometers) to be a tad too rare, even for those who like our meat on the rare side! So I ended up running late with my dinner, but it was worth the wait - I shall just adjust the time next time.

I must admit that I am rating the cooking method, and not the mustard-herb butter rub, since I didn't use it. Opted instead for another recipe found in Fine Cooking. Anyway, I had a 6.5 lb boneless roast. Used the GE oven probe to track temperature. Chose to use a lower heat to start: 250 degrees. Took nearly 3 hours to get to 115. Then we tented the roast and let it sit out for 2 hours to get us closer to dinner time. The recipe suggests that you can do this and then turn up the heat to 475 for 10 minutes to reverse sear to 130--that was the goal. Took far longer. After 30 minutes the temp had hardly budged. So I made a mistake: switched the oven to convection bake. That got it going but by the time it hit 130 the outside was overdone. I guess the ten minute time is the better way to go, but I thought the internal oven probe would be foolproof. Not sure what to conclude here!
