How to Make One Rib For Two

  1. Wrap the beef rib roast tightly in plastic wrap, then place in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze until solid (at least 4 hours, preferably overnight).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil and minced garlic.
  3. Remove the frozen roast from the freezer 30 minutes before cooking.
  4. Pat the frozen roast dry with paper towels. Rub the garlic oil mixture evenly over all sides of the roast, seasoning generously with salt and pepper.
  5. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the halved potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet, cut-side down, positioned like bookends to support the rib roast.
  6. Place the frozen rib roast, rib bone down, on the baking sheet, nestled between the potatoes.
  7. Roast for the desired doneness:
  8. - Rare: 1 hour 15 minutes
  9. - Medium-rare: 1 hour 25 minutes
  10. - Well-done: 1 hour 35-40 minutes
  11. Remove from oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes before carving and serving. Enjoy!
