With the holidays all around us I keep thinking about an easy to prepare, but big and impressive meal to make at my folks place. I ran out to the local market and I happened to see some semi-boneless beef rib roasts on sale and grabbed a few. It isn't often that you can pick up gorgeous pieces of meat like this for under $5 a pound. One went into the freezer to make another time, and one into the oven, after a little prep work.
First I started by washing and drying the roast thoroughly. I pre-heated the oven to 325° F. and let it fully come up to temperature.
I then cut up a few cloves of fresh garlic into long slivers. With garlic I always feel the more, the merrier, so I went with hilarious and cut up four fat cloves. I poked deep, thin holes all over the roast with a paring knife and inserted the slivers all the way into the meat. I tried to cover the roast thoroughly with the garlic slivers and made sure they were spaced evenly.
