Herbed Garlic and Pepper–Crusted Standing Rib Roast
8 servings
2 hours, 20 minutes total (Active 20 minutes)

Ingredients

  • 0.5 oz fresh rosemary
  • 0.5 oz fresh sage
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 standing rib roast (4–5 lb)

Steps

    1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Chop rosemary (¼ cup), sage (¼ cup), and thyme finely; combine with salt, pepper, garlic, and oil. Coat roast evenly with mixture on all sides and place in roasting pan (wash hands). Roast 20 minutes or until roast is browned.
    2. Reduce oven to 350°F; bake 1–1 ½ hours until roast is 125°F (for medium rare; warm red center), 130°F (for medium; warm pink center), or up to 170°F (for well done). Transfer roast to cutting board and let stand 10–15 minutes before slicing; temperature will rise 5–10°F during this time. Slice and serve.

The doneness temperatures for medium rare and medium stated above are traditional temperatures used for cooking beef, but are not recommended by the USDA. To maintain food safety, the USDA recommends an internal temperature of 145°F, as measured using a food thermometer, with a 3-minute rest time before carving.

If fruits and vegetables are part of this recipe, be sure to wash thoroughly.
