Ingredients
1 standing rib roast (5–6 lbs, bone-in preferred)
2 tbsp kosher salt
1 tbsp black pepper
6–8 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
1/4 cup olive oil or softened butter
Instructions
1. Let the roast sit at room temperature for 1–2 hours. Pat it dry thoroughly.
2. Mix garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and oil/butter into a paste. Rub generously over the roast.
3. Optional: Sear all sides of the roast in a hot pan, 2–3 minutes per side.
4. Place roast on a rack inside a pan, fat side up. Roast at 225°F until internal temp reaches desired doneness (e.g. 130°F for medium-rare).
5. Remove from oven and tent with foil. Let rest 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Use a meat thermometer for accurate doneness.
Don’t skip the resting time; it’s crucial for juicy meat.
Try adding horseradish or Dijon mustard to the rub for variation.
