Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Place a roasting rack inside a shallow roasting pan. (5 minutes)

02

Step
10 mins

Lightly brush the rib roast with olive oil. In a small bowl, combine the sea salt, black pepper, and minced garlic. Rub this mixture generously all over the roast, ensuring an even coating. Place the roast on the rack in the prepared roasting pan, with the fat cap facing upwards. (10 minutes)

03

Step
1 hrs 30 mins

Roast in the preheated oven until the surface is deeply browned, approximately 30 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C). Tent the roasting pan loosely with aluminum foil. Continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast registers 140°F (60°C) for medium-rare. This will take approximately 1 hour (or about 15 minutes per pound, depending on the initial temperature and shape of your roast). (90 minutes)

04

Step
20 mins

Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest, tented with foil, for 15-20 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast. Remove the foil and carve against the grain. (20 minutes)

For an even more intense flavor, consider adding fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs to the roasting pan during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
A meat thermometer is essential for achieving the perfect level of doneness. Insert it into the thickest part of the roast, avoiding bone.
Resting the roast is crucial! Don't skip this step, as it significantly improves the texture and juiciness.
If you prefer medium doneness, aim for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
