Elliott in Reno is preparing a 4.8 pound rib roast in his roaster oven today. Elliot asked for great seasoning ideas, and we have our favorites.

If serving your roast au jus, we recommend rubbing the meat with a combination of equal parts of (about 2 Tablespoons each) salt, pepper, and sage.

We also of course recommend Chef Sara’s recipe and her rub. Here’s the link:

If you are also serving a horseradish sauce, a rub of salt, pepper, and oregano would be fantastic.

Our friends at The Gilded Fork have a really unusual and tasy rub that is perfect for your meat and this time of year:
Aromatic Spiced Coffee Rub

Begin with a dried roast. Since you are using your electric roaster, rub the meat with olive oil. Take about 4 garlic cloves, slice thinly. Put small slices into the meat and insert garlic slivers. Rub your roast with your dried spices (see above).

Let your roast come to room temperature, about 1 hour.

Your electric roaster should be set to 325 degrees. Your cooking time will be between 26-30 minutes per pound, or between 2 hours and 2 hours 20 minutes.

Using a meat thermometer, your roast is ready to be removed from oven at 120-125 degrees for mostly rare, 130-135 degrees for a mostly medium rare roast.

Enjoy and do not hesitate to call us on the hotline for ideas for side dishes or help while cooking!
