Mustard-Peppercorn Rib Roast Recipe
- 4 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons peppercorn medley (a mixture of red, green, and black peppercorns)
- 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
- 1 (3-bone) standing beef rib roast (about 6 to 8 pounds)
- Place the garlic and salt together on a cutting board.
- Make a paste by pressing down on the blade of a chefs knife and dragging the side of it across the garlic and salt at a 15-degree angle, smashing them together until a paste forms.
- Place in a medium bowl.
- Place the peppercorns in a plastic zip-top bag and crack them on a work surface with a mallet or frying pan until theyre broken into small pieces but not pulverized.
- Put in the bowl with the garlic-salt paste, add the mustard, and mix until combined; set aside.
- Cut (2) 24-inch-long pieces of kitchen twine; set aside.
- Rinse the roast under cold water to remove any bone fragments, pat it dry with paper towels, and place it on the cutting board.
- Following the line of the bones, cut the meat away in 1 piece.
- Rub the meat all over with the mustard mixture.
- Fit the meat back onto the bones, matching the original position.
- Tie the meat onto the bones using 1 piece of twine in between each bone.
- (You can watch the Test Kitchens Christine Gallary demonstrate cutting away the meat and reassembling it on the bones in our video on .)
- Place the roast fat-side up on a large plate or baking sheet and refrigerate uncovered overnight.
- (Alternatively, it can be roasted after sitting at room temperature for 1 hour.)
- Remove the roast from the refrigerator and place it fat-side up in a roasting pan.
- Let it sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, heat the oven to 450 degrees F and arrange a rack in the lower third.
- Roast for 45 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue to roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 125 degrees F for medium rare, about 75 to 90 minutes more.
- Transfer the roast to a cutting board, tent it loosely with aluminum foil, and let it rest for at least 20 to 30 minutes.
- Remove the twine and bones, slice, and serve.
