Beef Rib Roast with Garlic and Rosemary
A standing rib roast combines deep beefiness with marvelous tenderness and, naturally, has a price tag to match. But don’t be intimidated. It’s still a roast, after all, and that means it’s easy to cook. This recipe was developed for Gourmet magazine's December 2009 issue. Unfortunately, Gourmet was shuttered before that issue was published. So in 2018, we dug up the entire Christmas menu and posted it here.
