I’m so excited to share with you my favorite rib roast bone-in recipe. This dish has been a staple in our household for years, and I just can’t get enough of it. The tender meat, the rich flavors, and the perfect technique all come together to create a truly unforgettable meal.

As a busy mom, I appreciate how easy this recipe is to make – just season the roast, sear it in a hot pan, and then let the slow cooker do all the work. My kids love when I serve it with mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables, but honestly, it’s just as delicious on its own. I’ve served this recipe for family gatherings, holiday meals, and even just a cozy night in with my loved ones.

When cooking it, I like to use a mixture of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to give it that extra oomph of flavor.

And don’t even get me started on how amazing it smells when it’s cooking away in the slow cooker… mmm… my mouth is watering just thinking about it!

🥘Ingredients

For the Roast

3 lb bone-in rib roast
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper

For the Vegetables

2 carrots, peeled and chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 onion, chopped

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 450°F.
2Combine rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
3Pat the roast dry with paper towels and rub the herb mixture evenly over the entire surface.
4Place the roast, fat side up, in a roasting pan.
5Roast the beef in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 325°F.
6Add carrots, celery, and onion to the roasting pan around the roast.
7Continue roasting for about 2 hours and 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare.
8Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature in the thickest part of the meat, avoiding the bone.
9Remove the roast from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board.
10Tent it loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.
11This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
12Slice the roast against the grain into 1/2-inch thick slices and serve with the roasted vegetables.
13If you prefer a more well-done roast, cook it to an internal temperature of 145°F for medium or 160°F for well-done.

📝Notes

Tips: For a crispy crust, sear the roast in a hot pan before placing it in the oven. You can also add a layer of beef fat to the roasting pan for extra flavor.

This rib roast bone-in recipe is truly one of my all-time favorites – whether we’re celebrating a special occasion or just need something hearty after a long day. The best part?

It’s incredibly easy to store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or freeze them for up to two months (just thaw slowly overnight before reheating). When reheating leftover slices straight from their refrigerated storage container into hot pans lined with parchment paper works beautifully too – all without compromising texture or flavor whatsoever!

Afterward serve over rice pilaf garnished with chopped fresh herbs if desired – enjoy every last bite!

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Herb Crusted Bone-In Rib Roast

Q: What type of beef is best for this recipe?

A: For this recipe, you’ll want to use a rib roast that’s at least 3-4 pounds in weight. Look for one that has plenty of marbling (fat) throughout – this will help keep the meat juicy and flavorful during cooking.

Q: Can I use any type of seasoning on my rib roast?

A: Absolutely! While the classic combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika is always delicious, feel free to experiment with different seasoning combinations to find what you enjoy most.

Q: Do I need to brown my rib roast before putting it in the slow cooker?

A: Yes, browning your rib roast before slow-cooking it adds depth and richness to the final dish. Simply heat up some oil in a skillet over high heat until smoking-hot before searing the roast on all sides – then transfer it directly into your slow cooker.

Q: How long does this recipe take from start to finish?

A: Don’t worry – this recipe is incredibly easy on time! From prep work to serving up dinner on your plate takes about 1 hour 30 minutes total (not including any prep time needed beforehand). Of course, if you’re short on time or prefer not waiting around for hours while dinner cooks away… then consider using a pressure cooker instead!

Q: Can I serve this dish with any other sides besides mashed potatoes?

A: Oh yes! There are countless options beyond mashed potatoes that pair perfectly well with our beloved rib roast bone-in. Consider serving with steamed broccoli florets sprinkled with lemon juice or chopped fresh herbs like parsley or thyme; creamy polenta; crispy bacon-wrapped green beans; or even simply sliced tomatoes fresh off the vine – whatever suits your fancy!
