Standing Rib Roast and Chipotle–Blue Cheese Sauce
8 servings
2 hours, 15 minutes total (Active 20 minutes)

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 8 ribs celery
  • 1 standing rib roast (4–5 lb)
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons coarsely ground pepper
  • 3 ½ tablespoons garlic-herb butter
  • 5 oz Deli soft-ripened blue cheese
  • 1 cup yogurt blue cheese dressing
  • 2 teaspoons chipotle hot sauce

Steps

    1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Coat medium-size roasting pan with spray. Cut celery into 7-inch pieces; arrange across center of pan. Place roast on top of celery (wash hands); sprinkle salt and pepper over roast. Bake 20 minutes or until roast is browned.
    2. Reduce oven to 350°F; bake 1–1 ½ hours until roast is 125°F (for medium rare; warm red center), 130°F (for medium; warm pink center), or up to 170°F (for well done). Transfer roast to cutting board and let stand 10–15 minutes before slicing; temperature will rise 5–10°F during this time.
    3. Cut butter and cheese into small cubes; place in medium saucepan on medium. Cook and stir 2–3 minutes until melted. Stir in dressing and hot sauce; remove from heat when sauce is bubbly. Serve roast with sauce.

The doneness temperatures for medium rare and medium stated above are traditional temperatures used for cooking beef, but are not recommended by the USDA. To maintain food safety, the USDA recommends an internal temperature of 145°F, as measured using a food thermometer, with a 3-minute rest time before carving.
