Ingredients

8 pound pork prime rib roast
2 tablespoons kosher salt
3 tablespoons grainy mustard
1 ½ tablespoons fresh thyme

Instructions

If desired, season pork with salt and allow it to sit in the fridge for at least 3 hours.
About 45 minutes before cooking, remove the roast from the fridge. Preheat oven (with the rack in the middle) to 275F. Placing the roast on a roasting pan with an insert, spread evenly with grainy mustard and sprinkle dried thyme.
Cook until 130F when inserted into the middle of the roast, about 2 hours, remove from the oven, tent and rest until about 135F.
Preheat the oven to 450F, then cook for another 8-12 minutes until the outside is browned.
Rest for another 10 minutes until the temperature rises to about 140-142F.
Slice between the bones and serve.

Notes

Rest your pork rib roast for about 20-30 minutes so it remains perfectly juicy when slicing it.
If you want to avoid rubbery leftover pork, reheat it in a skillet or oven with a splash of liquid.
A digital meat thermometer is a must since you will be cooking your pork prime rib based on temperature.
