STANDING RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Remove any excess fat from the roast, leaving a thin layer. In a small bowl, combine dry mustard, sugar, and Dijon mustard. Brush mixture over the fat and cut surfaces of the roast. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Set the roast, rib-side down, in a heavy, shallow roasting pan. (The ribs act as a natural rack.) Using a paring knife, score the fat. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue to roast, basting every 15 minutes, until it reaches a temperature of 125 degrees for medium rare on an instant-read thermometer. Remove roast to a platter. Let rest for 15 minutes before carving.
• Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the roasting pan. Set pan on stove over medium heat. Simmer until juices begin to darken, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in flour and cook, scraping up caramelized bits, until flour is deep golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add stock and bring to a boil, stirring until thickened. It should very lightly coat the back of a spoon. Season with salt and pepper. Strain gravy and serve with potatoes, brussels sprouts, and horseradish sauce.

HOLIDAY STANDING RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Remove any plastic wrap or butcher's paper from the roast. If any twine is tied around the roast (running in the direction of the ribs), leave it in place for now.
• Place the rib roast onto a rack set inside a half sheet pan, baking dish, etc. Airflow around the roast is key. Wrap in at least three layers of the cheesecloth, which will allow air flow while preventing the outer surface of the roast from hardening. Position the wrapped roast so that the ribs are facing downward and stash on the lower level of the refrigerator (set no lower than 34°F and no higher than 38°F) for 5 to 7 days. There's no need to change the cheesecloth during this time. Note: Although this isn't classical "dry aging," which involves a lot of complex enzymatic action, this drying will remove some of the moisture from the roast thus intensifying its flavor.
• When you're ready to cook, retrieve the roastYou can leave it on its rack and half sheet pan. from the refrigerator, remove and discard the cheesecloth, and rub roast with the oil. Remember to rub the bones with oil, as well. Once the roast is completely coated with oil, cover the roast with kosher salt, using about 2 teaspoons per bone, and the pepper. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Place a probe thermometer into the center of the roast and set its alarm for 118°F. Set the roast on the lower middle rack in a cold oven and turn the oven to 250°F. Let roast until the meat hits its target temperature, about 3 hours for a 3-bone roast or up to about 4 hours for a 4-bone roast. (It is more important to keep an eye on the temperature than the time here; your times may vary depending on the exact weight and shape of the roast.)
• When the thermometer alarm goes off, remove the roast from the oven, transfer to a cutting board, cover with foil, and let rest while preparing the pudding. (The roast's internal temperature should rise up to around 130°F, then very slowly start to fall.) Pour off the drippings from the sheet pan into a heat-proof liquid measuring cup. Let the roast rest for 30 minutes. Hang on to the sheet pan and rack; you'll use it again later.
• After 30 minutes, return the roast to the rack and sheet pan, then return to the oven. Crank the oven upas high as it will go; ideally 550°F, but 500°F will also work, and cook until the exterior of the roast is browned, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on how hot you can get your oven to run.
• Return the roast to the board, carve, and serve with Yorkshire pudding. And no, you don't need to rest it again.

FOOLPROOF RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Allow roast to stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Combine the salt, pepper and garlic powder in a small cup. Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan so that the fatty side is up and the rib side is on the bottom. Rub the seasoning onto the roast.
• Roast for 1 hour in the preheated oven. Turn the oven off and leave the roast inside. Do not open the door. Leave it in there for 3 hours. 30 to 40 minutes before serving, turn the oven back on at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) to reheat the roast. The internal temperature should be at least 145 degrees F (62 degrees C). Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before carving into servings.

STANDING RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• In a small bowl combine the cayenne, rosemary, and garlic. Add enough olive oil until it becomes a loose paste. Schmear the roast with the rosemary-garlic paste and really massage it into the meat. Season generously with kosher salt.
• Put the onions, baby carrots, celery and mushrooms in the bottom of a roasting pan. Toss with a little olive oil and salt, to taste. Add the wine, 1 cup of chicken stock and the bay leaves. Put the roast on top of the veggies and put into the preheated oven until the roast is really brown and lovely, about 25 to 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F for another 1 3/4 to 2 hours. Occasionally during the cooking time, spoon some of the juices over the meat. If the liquid level in the pan goes down too much, add the remaining 1 cup of stock. It also would be a great idea to rotate the roasting pan about halfway through the cooking process.
• Check the temperature of the meat by inserting an instant-read thermometer into the center of the roast. For medium-rare it should be 125 degrees F and 130 for medium. Remove the roast from the oven to a cutting board and let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes before carving.
• Taste the veggies in the pan juices and season with salt, to taste, if needed. Skim off any excess fat.
• Slice the roast and arrange on a serving platter. Serve with the veggies and the pan juices.

SIMPLE STANDING RIB ROAST

Steps:

• For the roast: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Season the roast evenly with 1 1/2 tablespoons salt and both peppers, rubbing it into the roast. Place the roast bone-side down in a rack in a roasting pan. Roast for 30 minutes.
• Lower the temperature to 350 degrees F. Toss the potatoes with the olive oil, rosemary and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a small bowl. Scatter the potatoes around the roast and continue to cook until a deep brown crust has formed around the outside of the roast and the internal temperature reads 120 degrees F, an additional 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Allow the meat to rest for 20 minutes before slicing.
• For the Salmoriglio: Warm a small skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and garlic and cook slowly until the garlic is golden brown and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Allow to cool. Whisk together the lemon zest and juice, rosemary, thyme and salt in a medium bowl. Drizzle in the olive oil and garlic and allow to sit at room temp for 10 minutes. Serve alongside the rib roast.
• If using with the Blistered Baby Pepper Salad, pour the salad over the roasted potatoes, toss with additional olive oil and serve with the roast.
• Heat a large skillet over high heat and add the oil, peppers and salt. Cook, stirring and tossing often, until the peppers begin to brown and soften, about 10 minutes. Pour the peppers into a large bowl and toss with the parsley, olives and capers.

• Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and roast until the meat is browned and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast reads 130 to 135 degrees F (54 to 57 degrees C) for medium-rare. Remove from oven, transfer roast to a platter, and cover with a tent of aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 30 minutes. Temperature of the meat will rise about 10 degrees during resting time.
• To make au jus sauce, skim excess fat from the pan drippings in the roasting pan. Place the pan over a burner set to medium heat, and stir in the beef base and 1 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a boil, scraping and dissolving any brown flavor bits from the bottom of the pan. Strain out and discard the vegetables. Combine the cornstarch and 1 teaspoon of water in a small bowl, and whisk the mixture into the sauce. Allow the sauce to thicken slightly (sauce will be thin), pour into a gravy boat, and serve with roast.
