Ingredients for Salt and Pepper Crusted Rib Roast

  • 1 (4-rib) standing beef rib roast (bone-in prime rib

  • 9 to 4.5kg ), at room temperature 1 hour

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 3 tablespoons kosher salt

  • 50g mixed peppercorns (pink, white, and green)

How to make Salt and Pepper Crusted Rib Roast

Preheat oven to 232°C with rack in middle.

Rub roast all over with oil, then sprinkle all over with kosher salt. Coarsely crush peppercorns in a folded kitchen towel (not terry cloth) with a meat pounder or bottom of a heavy skillet. Coat meat on all sides with peppercorns, pressing to help them adhere.

Roast on a rack in a 13- by 9-inch roasting pan 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 177°C and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into centre of meat (do not touch bone) registers 43°C, 1 1/2 to 2 hours more. Transfer to platter and let rest, uncovered, 30 minutes (temperature of meat will rise to about 54°C for medium-rare).◊
