Thyme-Scented Rib Roast

Serves 8 to 10
Time 2 hrs 10 min

We know it'll be tough, but try to be patient! Allowing this roast to rest before carving is an important step. It allows the meat to continue cooking for a few more minutes, taking it to just the right doneness, and ensures the perfect juiciness, too.

Method

Preheat oven to 475°F.


Arrange roast in a 13x9-inch roasting pan and rub all over with oil, then thyme.


Season generously with salt and pepper; roast for 30 minutes.


Remove roast from oven and use a bulb baster to skim most of the fat from the pan.


Baste beef with fat remaining in pan.


Reduce oven temperature to 375°F and continue roasting for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours more, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 115°F. (Meat will continue to cook while standing, reaching about 130°F for medium rare.)


Transfer roast to a platter and reserve pan juices, if desired. Let roast stand for 25 minutes, then carve.
