Ingredients:
- 1 (4-bone) Standing Rib Roast, approximately 9 lbs
- 3 tbsp Coarse Kosher Salt
- 2 tbsp Coarse Black Pepper
- 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
- 6 cloves Garlic, minced into a paste
- 2 tbsp Fresh Rosemary, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Fresh Thyme, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp Prepared Horseradish
- 2 cups Beef Bone Broth
- 0.5 cup Dry Red Wine
Instructions:
- Season the roast generously with 3 tbsp coarse salt on all sides. For best results, place on a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet and dry-brine in the refrigerator uncovered for 24 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 225°F (107°C). In a small bowl, combine softened butter, garlic paste, rosemary, thyme, black pepper, and horseradish to create the garlic herb rub.
- Slather the herb rub over the entire surface of the roast. Insert a digital probe thermometer into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding the bone.
- Place the roast in a roasting pan with a V-rack. Roast until the internal temperature reaches 120°F (49°C) for medium-rare, which typically takes 3 to 4 hours.
- Remove the roast from the oven and tent loosely with foil. Allow it to rest for at least 30 to 45 minutes. This stabilizes the internal temperature.
- While resting, prepare the au jus: Deglaze the roasting pan with red wine over medium heat, scraping up the brown bits. Add beef bone broth and simmer until reduced by a third.
- Increase oven temperature to 500°F (260°C). Return the rested roast to the oven for 6-10 minutes until the exterior is deeply browned and crispy. Slice and serve with the au jus.
