Ingredients:
- 1 Standing Rib Roast (approximately 6-7 pounds)
- 1 tablespoon lemon pepper
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon beef bouillon granules
- 6-7 cups boiling water
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Seasoning Rub:
- In a small bowl, combine the lemon pepper, paprika, dried rosemary, cayenne pepper, and beef bouillon granules.
-
Season the Roast:
- Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over the entire surface of the Standing Rib Roast.
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Roast the Beef:
- Place the seasoned roast, fat side up, in a large roasting pan.
- Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat, ensuring it doesn’t touch bone or fat.
- Roast the beef uncovered in the preheated oven until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
| Desired Doneness | Cooking Time |
|---|---|
| Rare | 23-25 minutes per pound |
| Medium | 27-30 minutes per pound |
| Well Done | 32-35 minutes per pound |
-
Rest the Roast:
- Once cooked, remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier and more tender roast.
-
Prepare the Au Jus:
- While the roast is resting, pour the pan juices into a glass measuring cup.
- Skim off any excess fat that rises to the surface.
- In the roasting pan, add the boiling water and beef bouillon granules, stirring to loosen any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Stir in the reserved pan juices to enhance the flavor of the au jus.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Carve the Standing Rib Roast into thick slices and serve with the prepared au jus on the side.
- Accompany with your favorite sides such as Bacon-Topped Cheese Potatoes, Green Bean Bundles, Salad, and Yeast Rolls for a festive and satisfying meal.
