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: Heat oven to 475°F.
2. Prep Roast: Brush rib roast lightly with olive oil and season with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic. Place fat side up on a rack in a shallow pan.
3. Initial Roast: Roast until browned, about 30 minutes.
4. Finish Roast: Reduce oven temperature to 325°F and tent with foil. Continue cooking until desired internal temperature is reached, about 140°F for medium.
5. Rest & Serve: Let rest for 10-20 minutes before carving.

Chef's Notes

• After lowering the oven temperature, plan on roughly 15 minutes of roasting time per pound of meat.
• Bring the rib roast to room temperature before roasting for more even cooking
