Perfect Standing Rib Roast Recipe with Garlic Herb Butter

  • Author: David
  • Total Time: 2 hours 45 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Description

A tender, juicy standing rib roast coated in rich garlic herb butter and roasted to perfection for a golden crust and flavorful interior. Perfect for holidays or any special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 standing rib roast (about 6–8 pounds), bone-in
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs (for garnish)
  • Sea salt flakes (for garnish)
  • Horseradish cream sauce (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Remove the standing rib roast from the refrigerator at least 2 hours before cooking to bring it to room temperature. Pat dry with paper towels.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and fragrant.
  3. Rub the roast all over with kosher salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Spread the garlic herb butter evenly over the entire roast, including the sides and between the ribs.
  4. Place the roast bone-side down on a rack in a roasting pan.
  5. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Roast uncovered for 20 minutes to develop a golden crust.
  6. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches 120°F (49°C) for rare or 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, about 1¾ to 2½ hours depending on size.
  7. Remove from the oven and tent loosely with foil. Let rest for 20–30 minutes before carving.
  8. Slice between the bones or into thick slices. Serve warm with sea salt flakes, rosemary sprigs, and horseradish cream sauce.

Notes

Let the roast rest before carving to retain juices. For an extra-crispy crust, finish with a 5-minute blast at 475°F before resting. Always carve against the grain for tender slices.
