Swift Beef Standing Rib Roast
with Harvest Vegetables
12- to 14-pound Kirkland Signature/
Swift beef standing rib roast
cloves will not overwhelm the roast—it
will taste wonderful!
25 garlic cloves, peeled
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons coarsely ground
black pepper
2 cups red wine
3. Season the meat with salt and pepper
and place in large roasting pan. Roast
for 20 minutes, then lower oven temperature to 215°F for the remainder of the
cooking time.
1 teaspoon sugar
5 pounds carrots, peeled
4. Add wine, sugar, carrots, potatoes
and pearl onions to roasting pan.
3 pounds red-skinned potatoes, unpeeled
1 pound pearl onions, peeled
5. Roast for an additional 21/2 hours
for a medium-rare roast. Add 1/2 hour
for medium.
1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
2. Using a sharp paring knife, very carefully cut diagonal slices through the fat
covering the roast at 1-inch intervals, 1/2
inch deep, leaving a diamond pattern
across the top. Insert garlic cloves into
the cuts, spacing evenly. Don’t worry, 25
6. Turn off the oven and let the roast sit for
20 minutes without opening the oven door.
This will give the meat a chance to relax
and redistribute the juices.
7. Remove from oven. Slice and enjoy!
Makes 12 to 14 servings.
