Standing Rib Roast and Gorgonzola Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 standing rib roast (4–5 lb)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon + ¼ teaspoon steak seasoning, divided
- 1 (3 oz) package shallots
- ¼ bunch fresh Italian parsley
- 1 cup dry white wine (or chicken stock)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
Steps
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Season roast on all sides with 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon seasoning; place on rack in roasting pan (wash hands). Bake 20 minutes or until browned; 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.
- Chop shallots and parsley finely. Preheat large sauté pan on medium 2–3 minutes. Place remaining 1 tablespoon oil in pan, then add shallots; cook 1 minute to soften. Reduce heat to medium-low, add wine, and cook until liquid is reduced by about two-thirds.
- Stir in heavy cream and remaining ¼ teaspoon seasoning; simmer 2–3 minutes until sauce begins to thicken.
- Remove pan from heat; whisk in cheese until sauce is smooth, then stir in parsley. Slice roast and serve with sauce.

- ¾ cup Italian-style breadcrumbs

Serving Suggestions
- Complete your meal with steamed vegetable blend, dinner rolls, and cherry pie for dessert.
- Don’t forget to let the roast rest before slicing. Letting the meat reabsorb the juices is crucial for a moist and flavorful roast.
