This is how you get people excited for your next dinner party: tell your future guests that you’ll be making Standing Rib Roast. That should do the trick; don’t be surprised if people arrive half an hour early though just to get first choice of the slices! No one can resist this deeply savory, rosy, and juicy beef with the zesty, herbaceous seasoning baked right into the crust. Dip each bite in the au jus to get that extra burst of beefy flavor, or use it as a sauce when serving the roast with mashed potatoes or egg noodles or whatever side you love most. Standing Rib Roast is worthy of a standing ovation: take a bite and you’ll see why!
