Bone-In Rib Roast
Rib roast is a classic dish that's perfect for special occasions or holiday dinners. This cut of beef is known for its rich, buttery flavor and tender texture when cooked properly.
Equipment
- Oven-safe skillet
Ingredients
- 4-6 lb prime rib roast Look for a well-marbled cut with a nice layer of fat.
- to taste none Kosher salt Season generously.
- to taste none Freshly ground black pepper Season generously.
- 2 tbsp olive oil For searing the roast.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F. Pat the rib roast dry with paper towels and generously season it all over with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until a deep, golden-brown crust forms, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F and continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness, approximately 2-3 hours for a medium-rare to medium finish.
- To guarantee the best results, allow the rib roast to rest for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing to help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
- Serve the rib roast with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a creamy horseradish sauce.
Notes
Consider healthier alternatives like lean pork tenderloin or grilled chicken. When enjoying rib roast, stick to recommended serving sizes of 3-4 ounces. Pair with roasted vegetables and a whole grain side for a more balanced meal.
