Gordon Ramsay Standing Rib Roast
Print Recipe

A standing rib roast is a bone-in prime rib cut, known for its marbling, tenderness, and deep beefy flavor. Gordon Ramsay elevates this classic roast with a bold herb, mustard, and garlic crust, then roasts it low and slow to ensure a perfect medium-rare finish with a golden-brown exterior.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 (6–7 lb) standing rib roast (3-rib bone-in prime rib)

  • 3 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped

  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper

  • 2 tbsp butter, for bastin

Instructions

Prepare the Herb Crust:

  1. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, mustard, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.

  2. Rub the mixture all over the roast, including the sides and fat cap. Let it sit at room temperature for 1 hour before roasting.

Sear for Extra Flavor (Optional):

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).

  2. For an extra crust, you can quickly sear the roast in a hot skillet for 2–3 minutes on each side before roasting.

Roast the Beef:

  1. Place the roast bone-side down in a roasting pan or rack.

  2. Roast at 450°F for 20 minutes to create a crust.

  3. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (160°C) and roast until the internal temperature reaches:

    • 120°F (49°C) for rare

    • 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare

    • 135°F (57°C) for medium

  4. Baste with butter during the final 15 minutes of cooking for added richness.

Rest Before Serving:

  1. Remove roast from the oven and tent loosely with foil. Let rest for 25–30 minutes before carving.

  2. Slice between the bones and serve with jus or horseradish sauce.
