Ingredients

1 (7 to 8 pound) trimmed prime beef rib roast (sometimes called standing rib roast; 3 or 4 ribs)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves

Directions

Preheat oven to 475 degrees.

Put roast, rib side down, in center of a 13 by 9-inch flameproof roasting pan and rub all over with 1 tablespoon oil. Press thyme to adhere. Season beef generously with salt and pepper.

Roast beef in middle of oven for 30 minutes. Remove beef from oven and with a bulb baster skim all but 1/2 cup fat from pan. Baste beef with fat remaining in pan.

Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees. Roast beef 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours more, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of meat registers 115 degrees. Transfer beef to a platter, reserving pan juices. Let beef stand 25 minutes. (Meat will continue to cook reaching about 130 degrees for medium-rare.)

Really Really Good
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is one of the easiest rib roasts one can do. If you want to add an extra dimension, try adding a little garlic to the... mix and the dish becomes even better in my opinion. If you want to make a rib roast and have never tried before, this is the recipe to do. It's simple and excellent.Read more

I've been watching the Food Network since it first came on tv...this was an early recipe by Sara Moulton and it is my... Christmas stand-by now for rib roasts...delicious and easy! The thyme and beef go so well together...she inspired me to try my first standing rib roast and it was a total success...this coming Christmas, I will be trying beef tenderloin for the first time.Read more
