HOW TO COOK RIB ROAST RECIPES

Steps:

• Sprinkle the meat liberally with salt and let the meat come to room temperature for 3 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 500°F.
• Dab the meat dry with paper towels, add any additional seasonings and place in the oven. Roat for 15 minutes.
• Reduce the oven to 325f and roast for 12 minutes per pound for rare and 14 mintues per pound for medium-rare.
• Check for doneness with a meat thermometer. Remove from the oven, transfer to a cutting board and cover the meat with tin foil. Rest for 15 to 30 minutes before carving and serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Separate the heads of roasted garlic into cloves and squeeze the roasted garlic out of the peels. Place the garlic in a small bowl and mash with the back of a fork until mostly smooth. Add 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, the rosemary and thyme, and stir to blend. Pat this mixture evenly over the top and sides of the roast. Place the trimmed strip of fat over the garlic-herb mixture and tie with kitchen string in several places to secure the fat onto the top of the roast.
• Season the roast all over with the remaining 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Place the roast in a roasting pan and add 1 1/2 cups red wine and 1/2 cup beef stock to the bottom of the pan. Roast for 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and continue to roast to the desired degree of doneness, about 18 minutes per pound for rare and 22 minutes per pound for medium. Let stand at least 5 minutes before carving. De-fat the pan juices and serve alongside the beef.
• If making au jus, place the roasting pan on the stove burners over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup red wine and scrape the browned bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add 2 cups beef stock and season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook until the wine is reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Strain the sauce through a sieve to remove the solids before serving. De-grease, if necessary.
