Instructions
  1. Let meat come to room temperature for about 2 hours before cooking.
  2. Preheat over to 475 degrees. Season roast on all sides with salt, pepper, and thyme and sprinkle with flour. Be careful not to cake the roast with too much flour.
  3. In a deep roasting pan with a grate, place rib roast bone side down and into preheated oven. Cook for 15 minutes, then lower temp to 350 and cook for the remaining time (4.5lbs would leave 75 minutes). Check temp with 10 minutes left in the cook time to make sure it doesn’t go over temp. Goal is 130 degrees at center of the roast (see notes below about doneness). Maybe preheat a casserole pan for the yorkshire pudding in the oven with 5 minutes left to help speed cooking.
  4. Mix yorkshire pudding ingredients in a large bowl.
  5. When roast is done, remove from roasting pan and cover tightly with foil. Pour about 3/4 of your drippings into your casserole pan and add yorkshire pudding batter and place back into the oven and cook for 30 minutes (see notes below).
  6. While pudding bakes, add flour to roasting pan to soak up the drippings. Add broth and wine and simmer over low heat until thick. Add more broth if it gets too thick.
  7. Serve with mashed taters and green beans.
Recipe Notes

2/21/22: 4.5 lbs @ $15.99/lb from Emery’s. There is debate over whether to let the butcher remove the meat from the bone and retruss. I got it cut and tied and it came out fine, was actually a bit easier to carve in the end. For 6:30 suppah, take the roast out of the fridge at 2:00pm and let rest at room temp until 4:00pm. Plan about 20 minutes/lb for cooking. For 4.5 lb, plan for 90 minutes. The goal is 130 degrees w/ a 30 minute rest while the pudding cooks, however, the roast took only 80 minutes to hit 130 and was good and rare – which is perfect – however for folks not into that, you might be able to go to 135/140 at the center while still appeasing the rare lovers with the butts and outer pieces having a bit more cook to it. The yorkshire pudding will appear to cook fast, but needs the full 30 minutes to cook – so keep that in mind when firing sides.
