This is what I consider to be the Rolls Royce of beef. I usually cook this during the holidays and I cook enough so that I have leftovers. I love it and my dog loves when I cook it, because he always gets the bone with meat on it. I will also flavor his dry food with the drippings, not all just the leftover portion.

The drippings from this meat produce the best gravy for mashed potatoes or Yorkshire pudding. I'll include the Yorkshire recipe for you in this post. If you have never had Yorkshire pudding then this is going to be your lucky day. Standing Rib Roast and Yorkshire pudding were made for each other, believe me just try them both together, you'll love it.

First ingredients and recipe for Standing Rib Roast:

1 - Standing Rib Roast (each rib will feed 2 people)
I always get 2 -3 ribs when I cook this meal.
2 - 3 - cloves of fresh garlic (sliced)
Sea Salt and Black & Red Pepper
1 - 2 - tbsp. of olive oil

I prepare the roast by taking the slices of garlic and inserting them into slices I have cut into the roast (randomly). Then I coat the roast with the oil so that when I put on the spices, it will stick to the roast. Liberally apply the spices, salt and pepper all over the roast.

Preheat oven in bake mode to 500 degrees. Insert roast on a roasting pan with rack on middle rack and seare the meat for 5 minutes. What this does is quickly cook the exterior of the roast and seals in the juices. This is most important as you want this meat to retain the juices for the delicious flavor and tenderness. Adjust the heat to 300 degrees and continue cooking for 20 minutes per pound. If you don't like medium-rare meat then cook longer as per your taste. To me, medium-rare is perfect and if you want it done more than that, well go get a hamburger at a fast food joint.

Ingredients for Yorkshire pudding:

7/8 - cup of flour
1/2 - tsp. of salt
1/2 - cup of milk
2 - Eggs
1/2 - cup of water

Sift flour and salt into a medium sized bowl. Stir in the milk and mix thoroughly and add the eggs, beat into a fluffy batter. Add the water and beat until large bubbles rise to surface of batter. Let stand for about an hour and then beat it again until it bubbles. Now in a large pan pour drippings from roast or use melted butter so that the bottom of pan is completely covered, about 1/4 inch. Pour the batter on top and bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for 10 t 15 minutes longer.

When done cooking serve right away with roast in place of mashed potatoes. Take juice from roast pan and pour over the pudding and meat and enjoy immensely. Now this is not what you would call a healthy recipe, but hey you only live once so make the best of it when you can.
