Easy Standing Rib Roast Recipe

Easy Standing Rib Roast Recipe

  • 1 (4 pound) rib roast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
  • 1/4 cup sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
  1. Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
  2. Brush rib roast lightly with olive oil. Rub sea salt, black pepper, and garlic into the roast. Place fatty-side up on a rack set inside a shallow pan.
  3. Roast in the preheated oven until browned, about 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and tent pan with aluminum foil. Continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the rib roast registers 140 degrees (60 degrees C), about 1 hour.
  4. Let rib roast stand for 10 to 20 minutes before carving.
