Foolproof Rib Roast

Plan ahead for next year's holiday meal.  Or make this for some random Sunday.  It's your choice and this looks pretty easy.  You might even find a rib roast on sale at the grocery store or butcher now that the holidays are over.

1 5lb. standing beef rib roast
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp. garlic powder

All roast to stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.  Combine the salt, pepper and garlic powder in a small cup.  Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan so that the fatty side is up and the rib side is at the bottom.  Rub the seasoning onto the roast.

Roast for 1 hour in the preheated oven.  Turn the oven off and leave the roast inside.  Do not open the door.  Leave it in there for 3 hours.  30 to 40 minutes before serving, turn the oven back on at 375 degrees to reheat the roast.  The internal temperature of the roast should be at least 145 degrees.  Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before carving into servings.
