Ingredients
1 (8-10 lb) standing rib roast (bone-in)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons freshly cracked black pepper
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
Instructions
Step 1: Remove the roast from the refrigerator at least 2 hours before cooking to bring it to room temperature. Pat the surface dry with paper towels.
Step 2: Season the entire roast generously with kosher salt and black pepper, pressing the seasoning into the meat.
Step 3: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Rub this mixture over the entire roast.
Step 4: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Place the roast in a roasting pan bone-side down and cook until an internal thermometer reads 115°F (46°C) for medium-rare.
Step 5: Remove the roast, tent with foil, and let it rest for 45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C).
Step 6: Place the roast back in the oven for 6-10 minutes until the crust is golden brown and crispy. Let rest 10 more minutes before carving.
Notes
Always use a meat thermometer for the best results. Temperatures will rise about 5-10 degrees during the resting and searing phase.
