Preparation

Step 1

Allow roast to come to close to room temperature. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Season roast to taste. Place roast on its ribs in a shallow roasting pan. Put about 3/4 to 1" of tap water in roasting pan (heat seeks moisture, better to get it from the water that the roast, plus, it will keep the fat dripping from smoking up the kitchen when they hit the hot dry pan).
Place roast in middle rack in the oven.
Cook roast:
2-3 ribs: 1 hour 45 minutes
4 ribs : 2 hours 15 minutes
5 ribs : 2 hours 45 minutes
6 ribs : 3 hours
7-8 ribs: 3 hours 15 minutes

After about 1 hour, reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees REGARDLESS OF SIZE and DON'T LET ANYONE OPEN THE OVEN, NO MATTER HOW GOOD IT SMELLS>
Remove roast from oven after above time, snip the strings, the rack of bones will fall off.
Slice roast to desired thickness.
Serve immediately. Roast should be hot pink - rare inside.
