How to season Rib Roast?

Whether you want to prepare it the classic way with salt and pepper or add a little more flavour to the feast, rubbing the meat with salt, spices, and herbs is the key to giving your roast that traditionally crispy, golden, and delicious crust.

The day before, or at least 2 hours before roasting the ribs, brush the entire surface of the roast with olive oil and sprinkle generously with one of the following spice blends:

• 1/4 cup black pepper and 1/4 cup kosher salt (use a container of Morton’s or Diamond kosher salt; larger salt crystals give the meat a better crust than regular table salt).
• 2 tablespoons black pepper, 2 tablespoons kosher salt, 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, and 1 teaspoon sweet or smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons black pepper, 2 tablespoons kosher salt, 2 tablespoons herbes de Provence, and 2 large cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 tbsp black pepper, 2 tbsp kosher salt, 1 tbsp dried or fresh thyme, 1 tbsp dry mustard, and the zest of two lemons
• 2 tablespoons black pepper, 2 tablespoons kosher salt, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary, and 2 large cloves minced garlic

If you want to make the sauce ahead of time, place it in the refrigerator uncovered overnight and let it sit at room temperature for two hours before baking.

How are Rib Roast prepared?

When grilling, don’t just follow your nose or rely solely on the weather to judge whether meat is cooked thoroughly. To get perfectly cooked ribs, purchase a digital meat thermometer.

Both in the version with a probe that remains in the meat during cooking, and in the version with removable rods: it offers absolute precision and prevents overcooking.

1. Preheat the oven to 450 F for at least 30 minutes until the ribs reach room temperature.
2. Place the roast, boneless, in the roasting pan. The legs create a natural grill for grilling meat. Don’t bother yourself if you don’t have one.
3. Bake the roast for 15 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 350°F. Continue roasting until the meat thermometer reads 120°F. Let cook for about 15 minutes per piece. 
4. When the thermometer reaches the desired temperature, remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 20 minutes. The roast continues to cook as the pan juices settle inside, raising the internal temperature to 130°F for perfect medium-rare ribs.
5. Cut the gnarly bones out of the rib roast, carve it, and serve it to all your dear friends and family!
