To Carve A Rib Roast Recipes

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.

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.

HOW TO CARVE A STANDING RIB ROAST

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.
