SUNDAY RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Two hours before roasting, remove meat from frig and allow it to come to room temperature. Place oven rack on 2nd lowest position. Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Be sure your oven is very clean before heating to 500 to reduce smoking.
• Place roast in pan large enough to hold it comfortably, bone-side down, and spread the top thickly with the salt and pepper. Roast meat for 45 minutes. Without removing the meat from the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F and roast for anouther 30 minutes. Finally, increase the temperature to 450 degrees F and roast for another 15-30 minutes, until internal temperature of the meat is 125 degrees F. Be sure thermometer is exactly in the center of the roast. The total cooking time will be between 1 1/2 and 1 3/4 hours. Meanwhile, make the sauce.
• Remove the roast from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 20 minutes. Carve and serve with Mustard Horseradish Sauce or Stilton Sauce.

STANDING RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Remove any excess fat from the roast, leaving a thin layer. In a small bowl, combine dry mustard, sugar, and Dijon mustard. Brush mixture over the fat and cut surfaces of the roast. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Set the roast, rib-side down, in a heavy, shallow roasting pan. (The ribs act as a natural rack.) Using a paring knife, score the fat. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue to roast, basting every 15 minutes, until it reaches a temperature of 125 degrees for medium rare on an instant-read thermometer. Remove roast to a platter. Let rest for 15 minutes before carving.
• Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the roasting pan. Set pan on stove over medium heat. Simmer until juices begin to darken, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in flour and cook, scraping up caramelized bits, until flour is deep golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add stock and bring to a boil, stirring until thickened. It should very lightly coat the back of a spoon. Season with salt and pepper. Strain gravy and serve with potatoes, brussels sprouts, and horseradish sauce.
