8 servings
2 hours, 15 minutes total (Active 20 minutes)
  • Prepare roast and begin to bake (15 minutes)
  • Bake roast (1 ½ hours)

Standing Rib Roast

Ingredients

  • Olive oil cooking spray
  • 8 ribs celery
  • 1 standing rib roast (4–5 lb)
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper
  • ¼ cup diced frozen onions
  • 2 teaspoons chopped garlic
  • 2 cups reduced-sodium beef broth
  • 16 oz whole fresh white mushrooms

Steps

    1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Coat 13- x 9-inch baking dish with spray. Cut celery into 7-inch-long pieces; arrange across center of dish. Place roast on top of celery, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and top with onions and garlic (wash hands).
    2. Pour broth into dish and arrange mushrooms around roast. Bake 20 minutes or until browned. Reduce oven to 350°F; bake 1–1 ½ more 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. Slice roast and serve with mushrooms.

Gorgonzola Potatoes

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons garlic-herb butter
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 (20 oz) package refrigerated homestyle diced potatoes
  • ¼ cup crispy fried onions
  • ⅛ teaspoon pepper

Steps

    1. Combine in microwave-safe bowl: cheese, half-and-half, flour, butter, and salt. Microwave on HIGH 2 minutes or until hot.
    2. Stir in potatoes, onions, and pepper. Cover and microwave on HIGH 10 minutes, stirring halfway through cook time, or until potatoes are tender and 165°F. Serve.

    Chef's Tip: For an elegant finish, place in oven-proof serving dish, top with more crispy onions, and broil 3–5 minutes until golden.
