We had an early Christmas dinner in 2016 because our daughter Briana had to work and would not be here on Christmas Day. This was the main entree, and since she had never made one, I thought this would be a great time for her to learn. The herbs and spices in this roast added lots of flavor. I directed Briana in the prep and she did all the work and was so proud of her achievement, and replied afterwards that she had no idea HOW SIMPLE AND EASY IT WAS TO MAKE. The key is to not overcook the roast. You will love and appreciate all the flavors. Hope you like it too.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Typical standing rib roast recipes take hours in the oven to cook. This is a delicious recipe that cuts down the cooking time. The seasoning paste is amazing; a great combination that adds so much flavor to the already rich meat. While cooking, the seasoning paste and the fat combine to form a nice crust on the outside of the roast. A fabulous standing rib roast for a special occasion.

Test Kitchen Tips
The Alderwood smoked salt is a specialty item that may be hard to find. Substitute any smoked salt you can find. Also, we used 8 cloves of garlic and it was a prominent flavor in the roast. If you don't love a strong garlic flavor, cut back on the cloves.
