Roth gave you good advice,don"t over season,a good roast flavor stands alone,some people put all kinds of crap on meat and the good beef flavor is lost.

Leave the fat side up in the roasting pan, do some shallow criss-cross cuts into the fat, but not through it. Give it a nice rub with fresh garlic, coarse salt, pepper. Turn oven up to 425 and cook for 20 minutes, this will sear the outside so you won't lose as much juice. Turn down to 325 and cook until thermo reads 118 this will give a nice rare/medium rare. As Roth said, remove it and let rest (covered with loose foil) for 15-20 minutes. It will still keep cooking and raise another 5 or so degrees. Save the drippings and serve on the side.

I'm getting hungry!

Note: I always cut the bone away from the meat first ( in one piece), then placethe roast back into the rib cradle while it cooks. It's just easier for carving when you are done, and we always serve the gents a bone while the roast is resting!

Guys
I'm sooooooo hungry!
This is not on my diet plan.
PS-I love to place sliced up cloves of garlic into the meat while its cooking.

Roth, you are my hero. That is some great info.

don"t over season

And that's the other key, Bradley gives great advice here. A good bit of beef needs nothing more than a little salt and pepper if it's been aged and cut correctly.
Finally, if you have a local butcher that offers different "finishes" on their beef I always go grass finished as I love that unique flavor. Skip corn finished if you can as it makes the beef flavor "fade" in my tastes.

Just keep it simple and it will turn out great. I use Jane's crazy mixed up salt to season rib roasts, rib eyes, ham burgers and whole chickens. It is not over powering. Very nice salt, pepper, and light on the herbs. Lets the flavor of the meat speak for itself.

Buy it a week early and Dry Age it in your fridge. It will intensify the flavor of the beef.
Remove roast from packaging, rinse well. Pat completely dry, wrap with 3 layers cheesecloth. Place on a rack on a sheet pan in back of refrigerator, fat side up. After 24 hours, remove, unwrap, discard cheesecloth and wrap with a fresh piece. Place back in refrigerator for 6 to 9 days undisturbed.
Remove roast from refrigerator. Remove cheesecloth, cut away the fat and trim the ends and any discolored parts of roast.
Paula Dean's cooking method and simple seasoning are tough to beat.
