How to Make Thelma's Standing Rib Roast No Peek

  1. Three to four hours before serving, place the room temperature roast in a shallow roasting pan, fat side up, resting on the bones (use a roasting rack if available).
  2. Generously sprinkle the roast with 2 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  4. Place the seasoned roast in the preheated oven and cook for exactly 45 minutes.
  5. Do not add water to the pan.
  6. Do not cover the roast.
  7. Do not baste the roast.
  8. After 45 minutes, turn the oven OFF completely.
  9. Leave the roast in the oven with the door closed for approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes.
  10. Carefully turn the oven back ON to 375°F (190°C).
  11. Cook for another 45 minutes.
  12. Remove the roast from the oven.
  13. Let the roast rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
