Advice

When making rib roast, the key is to season it well and cook it slowly in order to achieve the perfect level of doneness. To start, season the roast with a generous amount of salt and pepper, and then let it sit at room temperature for at least an hour before cooking. When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 325 degrees and place the roast in a roasting pan filled with a half inch of beef broth. Roast the roast for about three hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the roast reads 135 degrees. Allow the roast to rest for at least 10 minutes before carving. This will ensure that all the delicious juices are kept inside the roast. Enjoy!
