Ingredients

• 4 pounds Bone-in beef rib roast
• 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
• 1.5 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 4 Fresh thyme sprigs (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a roasting rack inside a large roasting pan.

Step 2

Pat the beef rib roast dry with paper towels and set it on the roasting rack. Allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, minced garlic, rosemary, smoked paprika, and olive oil to create a seasoning paste.

Step 4

Rub the seasoning paste all over the rib roast, ensuring it is evenly coated on all sides.

Step 5

In another small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup and Dijon mustard until well combined. Set the glaze aside for later use.

Step 6

Place the rib roast in the preheated oven and roast for 15 minutes to develop a beautiful crust.

Step 7

Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting for 1 hour and 45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare or your desired doneness.

Step 8

During the last 15 minutes of roasting, brush the maple-Dijon glaze generously over the roast, coating it thoroughly.

Step 9

Once the roast is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest on a cutting board, tented with foil, for at least 15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 10

Carve the rib roast into thick slices and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
