Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425&# 194;°F (220ðC).
  2. In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, crushed black peppercorns, dried oregano, dried thyme, celery seeds, cayenne pepper, grated onion, and pressed garlic cloves to form a thick paste.
  3. Pat the beef rib roast dry with paper towels and ensure the fat cap is trimmed to about 1/8-inch thick.
  4. Rub the mustard-herb mixture all over the roast, ensuring an even coat on all sides, including the top fat cap.
  5. Place the roast on a rack set inside a roasting pan.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes to sear the exterior.
  7. Reduce the oven temperature to 325ðF (165ðC) and continue roasting for approximately 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 130ðF (54ðC) for medium-rare.
  8. Remove the roast from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let rest for 20 minutes before slicing.
  9. Serve the sliced roast with the prepared horseradish sauce on the side.

Note

For the horseradish sauce, mix prepared horseradish with sour cream, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to taste.

Use a meat thermometer to check doneness accurately. The internal temperature will rise about 5-10 degrees during the resting period.

Allow the roast to rest for the full 20 minutes to ensure the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender slice.

If you prefer a more intense spice profile, increase the cayenne pepper or add fresh cracked black pepper to the rub.
