Ingredients
>
1 (7 -8 lbs) standing rib roast
>
2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
>
2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
>
2 tbsp minced garlic
>
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
>
2 tbsp olive oil
Steps
1
Preheat oven to 450°F and set oven rack to lowest position. Season roast with salt and pepper. Place in a roasting pan, uncovered, with the bones on the bottom. Put in oven and roast for 25 min.
2
Meanwhile, mix the thyme, rosemary, garlic, mustard, and olive oil until well blended.
3
Remove roast from oven. Turn the roast upright so the bones are facing up, then brush all over with the mustard mixture.
4
Lower oven temperature to 400°F and return roast to oven. Roast for an additional 45–55 min., or until an instant read thermometer reads 125–130°F (medium rare). Remove roast from oven and let rest, covered, for 20 min. before serving.
