Alton Brown's Holiday Standing Rib Roast

When it comes to the holidays, everyone has their favorite roast. For me, there can be only one: the standing beef rib roast. Here's how I do it.

"Good Eats" is the best show Food Network ever produced.

This man has been entertaining me since his days on the food network, bless him and his family.

Welcome back Mr Brown, we have missed you, quarantine quitchen has been a glimmer of slightly shouty alcohol infused light in the darkness of this year, please consider bringing it back when you feel ready.

We got a 8 lb rib roast for Xmas eve, wrapped in cloth with salt & pepper for 3 days before. First time doing this cold oven method noted here. Our oven does 200F, took 4 hours to come to 110F (we like rare), let it rest an hour then 15 min at 550F. Absolutely perfect, a rare warm center to medium rare throughout - no brown meat at all. Incredible flavor - Thank you Alton for this easy & great recipe.

Did you get the part where we miss you? Quarantine Quitchen has been a ray of pleasure in a cluster of a year. We will welcome you back with open arms!

We miss you and Elizabeth! More quarantine quitchen please! It's the highlight of our week!

I have come back to this for the last couple of years and it’s the “I’ll be in the garage” that gets me every time 😂

Mr. Brown! You’re back! You’ve been silent for a while. Got worried. Glad to see you’re back sir.

I have one addition to the Yorkshire and beef grab’n go... a spread of horseradish in between.

Sometimes I forget Alton Brown exists and then he shows up in my yt recommended like the thanksgiving equivalent of Michael bublé.

The Mr. Wizard of the cooking world! I watched his show from the moment it first came out, probably seen every episode several times over.
I use to have large parties and I cooked all the time, people asked how I understand so much about cooking. First, I grew watching Juila Childs, Mr.Wilson cajun cooking, Yen can Cook and Frugal Gourmet, I learned a lot from these folks. However, Alton Brown breaking down the science of cooking, put me in a whole new level of understanding. I literally come up with new recipes or twist old ones to such a flavorful experience.
Thank you Alton for your knowledge!

I grew up watching Alton on Good Eats and man, I gotta say, his 1000% chill and no-filter attitude in this series gives me life

[sammy-girl]

Glad to see you posting, AB! Got worried when you stopped for so long, even QQ which has become part of my routine Tuesday nights. Hope you're feeling better and hope you resume QQ! We've all missed you!

My first time making standing rib and Yorkshire pudding and I knocked it out of the park. Ribs were incredible and the skillet bread will be made often. Thank you Alton.

Just made this for a big table at Christmas, did a four bone to play it safe. Roasting time took a touch over 4hrs. End result: absolute smashing hit. The pudding really sent it. Thanks, Alton!

I made this this evening.
Hearing my dad go on and on about how good it was made me feel so happy. I'm glad I could give mom and dad a nice Christmas dinner. My dad had emergency surgery a couple days before Christmas and they just came home today (Tuesday).
I'm not much of a meat eater and even I can appreciate this meal.

I love the “Good Eats” theme playing at the end

[juliebradley]

I'm so glad to see your great self! I'm missing you and Elizabeth 🥰

I didn’t follow his recipe exactly, but followed the cooking time very closely and the prime rib came out great. Family really liked it for Christmas Eve dinner. The probe thermometer is an invaluable tool.
