INCREDIBLE !!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Ok, I was a little, very, apprehensive about taking a very expensive piece of meat and doing something completely different... with it, but guest what I did and it was incredible. I had a 4-1/2 lb rib roast and cooked it at 375 for 55 minutes, turned off the oven for the 3 hours recommended. Popped in a potato dish and turned the oven back on at 375 for 25 minutes. I took out the roast and let it rest for 10 minutes and it was perfect. Med Rare. Thank you Paula. This is a sure winner.Read more

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I got the roast but didn't have a recipe for it, although I had an idea of how to cook it, so I looked up food network and... found this recipe. For a first-timer it was great! So easy to make and my husband loved it! This will be the recipe we use for holiday parties from now on! If you want a perfectly done medium rare rib roast without a lot of work- this is the recipe! Thanks Paula for never failing us!Read more

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

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
