Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (5 lb) standing rib roast
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup whole milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
  2. Season the rib roast generously with salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  3. Sear the roast in a hot skillet for about 3-4 minutes per side until browned.
  4. Place the seared roast on a rack in a roasting pan and cook for 15 minutes at 450°F. Then reduce the heat to 325°F (160°C) and continue cooking until an internal temperature of 130°F is reached (about 1 to 1.5 hours).
  5. While the roast cooks, whisk together flour, eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Let the batter rest.
  6. About 30 minutes before the roast is done, pour the batter into muffin tins filled with hot oil from the oven and bake at 425°F (220°C) for about 20-25 minutes.
  7. Allow the roast to rest for at least 15 minutes before carving.
