To Carve A Rib Roast Food

STANDING RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Position a rack in the lower third of the oven (move the other racks up to make room for the roast). Pat the rib roast dry with paper towels. Using a sharp thin knife, poke slits in the top and sides of the roast and between the ribs; stuff the slits with the garlic slices, poking them into the meat so that they're covered. (Do this 3 or 4 slits at a time so you don't lose track of where you made the cuts.)
• Pulse the peppercorns in a mini food processor or spice grinder to break them up. Add 2 tablespoons salt, the rosemary and thyme and pulse until finely chopped. Pour into a small bowl and stir in the olive oil. Rub all over the top, sides and bottom of the roast (not the bones). Set on a rack in a roasting pan, bone-side down, and let stand at room temperature, 30 to 60 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450˚ F.
• If using a probe thermometer, insert it into the thickest part of the roast, about halfway in. Place on the lower oven rack and roast until the meat starts browning and the fat sizzles, about 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325˚ F and continue roasting until the internal temperature registers 130˚ F, 1 1/2 to 2 hours more, carefully basting with the drippings every 30 minutes.
• Transfer the rack with the roast to a rimmed baking sheet or large cutting board and let rest 30 to 40 minutes. Carve off the bones in one piece (see right), then slice the meat with a sharp carving knife.

TO CARVE A RIB ROAST

Steps:

• For all its grandeur, a standing rib roast is actually much simpler to carve than a turkey. Just make sure that you ask the butcher to remove the chine bone, which lies along the bottom of the cut, so that you can free the ribs easily. And before you attempt either of the following methods, freshly sharpen your carving knife! Otherwise, high drama (or farce, depending on your perspective) is likely to ensue as the roast skids off the carving board.
• The most straightforward method is to stand the roast on its base, ribs pointing up and toward you, and anchor it with a carving fork. Cut between each rib down to the board, cutting around any pieces of chine bone left by the butcher.
• The English method is a little more elegant. Cut a thin slice off one end of the roast to make a flat surface and set the roast on that end. Sticking your fork between the ribs, slice horizontally across the top, cutting each slice free of the bone. A distinct advantage to carving a roast in this manner is that you can make the slices as thin as you want. Many people prefer two or three thin slices to a slab of meat.
• Whichever carving method you choose, give yourself room to maneuver by transferring cut slices to a serving platter as you go.

STANDING RIB ROAST OF BEEF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• Brush the meat with the olive oil. Combine all of the seasonings in a small bowl. Rub the seasoning paste uniformly over the meat. Place the meat, bone side down, in a roasting pan and roast for 20 minutes.
• At the end of 20 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees and continue cooking for 1 1/2 to 2 hours for medium rare or until a thermometer inserted near the center of the roast reads 130 degrees. While the beef is cooking, periodically, CAREFULLY pour off the fat that has accumulated in the roasting pan into a heat proof container.
• Remove the roast from the oven and allow to stand for 20 minutes before carving.
• After the roast has rested for 20 minutes, transfer it to a large cutting board, being careful not to burn yourself. Lay the roast bonesidedown on the cutting board. Insert a sharp knife between the meat and the rib bones, separating the meat from the ribs in one large piece to slice the beef into boneless slices or simply carve into rib portions, each with a bone attached . Carve the boneless meat into 1/2-inch thick slices.

PERFECT RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to low position and preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Heat a large roasting pan over 2 burners set at medium-high heat. Place roast in hot pan and sear on all sides until nicely browned and about 1/2 cup of fat has rendered, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Remove roast from pan. Set a wire rack in pan; set roast on rack. Generously season meat with salt and pepper.
• Place roast in oven and roast until a meat thermometer registers 130 degrees for medium-rare, about 3 1/2 hours. If roast is done sooner than you expect, simply turn oven as low as possible (preferably 150 to 170 degrees F) and let stand until ready to serve.
• Transfer roast to a cutting board, with rib bones perpendicular to board. Using a carving fork to hold roast in place, cut along rib bones to sever meat from bones. Set roast cut side down and carve meat across grain into 3/4 to 1-inch-thick slices. Serve immediately.

SUNDAY RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Two hours before roasting, remove the meat from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (see Cook's Note).
• Place the oven rack on the second lowest position.
• Place the roast in a pan large enough to hold it comfortably, bone-side down, and spread the top thickly with the salt and pepper. Roast the meat for 45 minutes. Without removing the meat from the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F and roast for another 30 minutes. Finally, increase the temperature to 450 degrees F and roast for another 15 to 30 minutes, until the internal temperature of the meat is 125 degrees F. (Be sure the thermometer is exactly in the center of the roast.) The total cooking time will be between 1 1/2 and 1 3/4 hours. Meanwhile, make the sauce.
• Remove the roast from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Cover it tightly with aluminum foil and allow the meat to rest for 20 minutes. Carve and serve with the sauce.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, mustards, horseradish, sour cream, and salt in a small bowl.

FOOLPROOF RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Allow roast to stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). 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 on 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 F (190 degrees C) to reheat the roast. The internal temperature should be at least 145 degrees F (62 degrees C). Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before carving into servings.
