Directions

Step 1
Let beef come to room temperature 1 hour. Preheat oven to 500°. Set beef in a large roasting pan, rib side down, and roast 30 minutes to render off some fat.

Step 2
Transfer beef to a platter and reduce oven temperature to 350°. Drain fat from pan, then return beef to pan, rib side down. Set aside.
Step 3
Grind peppercorns, allspice, and salt in a spice grinder until coarsely ground. Put in a small bowl and mix with remaining ingredients to make a thick paste. Use a small spatula to spread paste evenly over top and sides of beef.
Step 4
Cook beef until well browned and a meat thermometer inserted into thickest part reads 115°, about 1 1/2 hours for medium rare (temperature will rise to at least 135° as it stands). Cover beef loosely with foil and let stand about 30 minutes before slicing.

We made this recipe last evening for a special Valentine's Day dinner and it was OUTSTANDING! We followed the recipe to a tee with the exception of baking it longer because we did not want medium rare. It is easy and delicious and our rib roast turned out super moist and flavorful! Definitely better than you could get at most fancy restaurants. We will definitely be making this recipe again.
