1 standing beef rib roast
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Allow roast to come to room temperature. Three to four hours before serving, preheat oven to 375° F. Place roast, fat-side up, in a shallow roasting pan; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for exactly 45 minutes. (Do not add water; do not cover; do not baste.)
Turn oven off and allow roast to stand in oven (do not open the oven door) until 1 hour before serving.
Turn oven on to 375° F. Roast for another 45 minutes. Let stand for 15 minutes before carving.
* For 10- to 12-pound roasts, roast for 60 minutes at the beginning and 60 to 90 minutes at the end for medium rare.
