This simply seasoned rib roast recipe makes a tender beef dish that stands out. Pair it with homemade horseradish sauce and you'll be in tastebud heaven!
Heat the oven to 350 °F. Prepare the ingredients for the roast rub by combining the oil, garlic, and pepper together in a bowl.
Rub the beef roast generously with salt on all sides. Press the seasonings evenly into the roast.
Place the beef roast in a baking dish or pan with the fat side up. Insert an ovenproof meat thermometer into the thickest part of the beef, making sure it's not touching the bone. Roast for about 2 1/2 hours (refer to doneness temperature in blog post notes above.)
Once the roast is removed from the oven, lightly cover it with foil and let it rest for at least 15 minutes. Serve it with your favorite sides.
Horseradish Sauce
Prepare the ingredients for the horseradish sauce. Peel and grate the horseradish, finely dice the fennel bulb, and chop fresh fennel fronds.
Whisk the whipping cream until you get soft peaks. Add in the horseradish, fennel bulb, and fennel fronds. Season with salt.
Place the sauce in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
