Standing Rib Roast

Ingredients

• 1 (4 lb) rib roast
• 2 tbs olive oil, or as needed
• ¼ C sea salt
• 2 tbs freshly ground black pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 475°
2. Brush rib roast lightly with olive oil and season with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic. Place fatty-side up on a rack set inside a shallow pan.
3. Roast in the preheated oven until browned, about 30 minutes.
4. Reduce oven temperature to 325° and tent pan with aluminum foil.
5. Continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the rib roast registers 140°, about 1 hour.
6. Let roast stand for 10 to 20 minutes before carving

Chef's Notes

• After you reduce the oven temperature, count on 15 minutes of roasting time per pound of meat.
• Bring the rib roast to room temperature before roasting
