Wonderful!

Hey! Hey! Paula! My Husband Wants to Marry You Someday! I wish you could see him relish this roast! I could use some ideas... for left-overs besides French Dip Sandwiches and Gyro Wraps. Welcome replies. I've made this standing rib roast several times and will continue to do so.Read more

I have made this rib roast for the last three Christmases and every special occasion that we have. It always comes out... beautiful. This is a tradition in our house now and our Holidays would not be the same without it!Read more

Wow! Who would believe it - simple and perfect!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We were aprehensive but consoled ourselves that Paula never stears you wrong! After hours of no work at all, we slicied into... perfectly prepared medium rare rib roast to our absolute delight! What a marvelous and easy way to prepare great beef. Aunt Peg brought a 10# boneless rib roast, specially cut from the meat market of our local grocery store (choice, not prime) for a family dinner and Paula's recipe made it perfect with NO SWEAT! We will do this often!Read more

Awesome!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this recipe several times with roasts of all sizes. The last one I made was 14 lbs (bone in) and it was perfectly... cooked. I have to say that for the somewhat larger roasts, I do cook it a little longer on the re-heat stage but not too much longer or it ends up being well done. I have had so many compliments that this is the only way I will ever cook a standing rib! Delicious!Read more

Easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for Christmas and New Year's Eve. The first time it was a little too done, I had a 2 bone roast and was unsure... of the method. Second time came our almost perfect. I used Alton Brown's recipe for the pan gravy - 1 c. beef broth or water and 1 c. red wine heated in the pan. I made beef stroganoff with the leftover meat and gravy. Yummy.Read more

Overcooked by a mile
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I made a 4.5 lb standing rib roast for New Year's Eve. Since the recipe was for a 5 lb roast, I reduced the initial cooking... time by about 10 minutes, shut off the oven and when I checked it 1 1/2 hours later (not even the 2 hours recommended) the temperature of the roast was already 140! I yanked it from the oven and wasn't able to reheat it at all, so we enjoyed our cold, overcooked roast an hour later when all the side dishes were done. What a mess.Read more
