### How to Prepare and Cook a Standing Rib Roast
#### Step 1: Preparing the Roast
1. **Choose Your Cut**: A Standing Rib Roast typically comes in sizes ranging from 4 to 6 bones. A 4-bone roast will feed 6-8 people, while a 6-bone roast serves 10-12. Choose based on the number of guests you’ll be serving.
2. **Bring to Room Temperature**: Remove the roast from the refrigerator about 2 hours before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature. This helps ensure that the roast cooks more evenly.
3. **Trim the Fat**: The fat cap on a Standing Rib Roast is essential for flavor and juiciness, but it’s best to trim it down to about 1/4-inch thick. You can leave the bones exposed for a more dramatic presentation.
#### Step 2: Seasoning the Roast
1. **Prepare the Seasoning**: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard (if using). Mix until a paste forms.
2. **Season the Roast**: Rub the seasoning paste evenly all over the roast, ensuring it’s coated on all sides, including the top and sides. The garlic and herbs will infuse the roast with delicious flavors while the olive oil helps the roast brown nicely.
3. **Tie the Roast (Optional)**: If the roast has been cut into individual ribs, you can tie the roast together with kitchen twine to help it maintain its shape during cooking. This step is optional but will make carving easier.
