Foolproof Rib Roast

Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: approximately 4-5 hours
Serves: 8

Ingredients

1 (5 pound) standing beef rib roast
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Preparation
  • Allow roast to stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Combine the salt, pepper and garlic powder in a small cup. Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan so that the fatty side is up and the rib side is on the bottom. Rub the seasoning onto the roast.
  • Roast for 1 hour in the preheated oven. Turn the oven off and leave the roast inside. Do not open the door. Leave it in there for 3 hours.
  • 30 to 40 minutes before serving, turn the oven back on at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) to reheat the roast. The internal temperature should be at least 145 degrees F (62 degrees C).
  • Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before carving into servings.
