What do you make? We usually do a beef dish and a chicken dish. Half of my family is very adventurous and the other half is dull when it comes to food. So no mushrooms allowed or lamb, veal or venison. Any good recipes out there for beef or chicken that could satisfy all?

I usually make this beef dish for Christmas. Its the best prime rib ever.

Foolproof Standing Rib Roast

1 5-pound standing rib roast

House Season:
Use1 tablespoon house seasoning
1 cup salt
¼ cup black pepper
¼ cup garlic powder

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Allow roast to stand at room temperature for at least one hour. If roast is frozen, thaw completely and bring to room temperature. Make seasoning by mixing all ingredients. Rub roast with seasoning and place on rack in pan rib side down, and fatty side up. Roast for 1 hour. Turn off oven and leave roast in oven but do not open oven door.

Approximately 30 to 40 minutes before serving time, turn oven back on and reheat roast. Do not remove roast or open oven door from time roast in put in until ready to serve.

What's "House Seasoning" Crystal? Is it a mixture of the salt, pepper and garlic powder? Or is it another entity altogether? [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Sorry - the recipe is a little unclear

House Seasoning is:
1 cup salt
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder

and then you a tablespoon of that. I actually use 2 or 3 tablespoons to get a good coat on the prime rib. I keep it mixed up by the stove and use it for lots of stuff. Its Paula Deen's favorite and is in lots of her recipes.

That sounds good. I was confused too and thought a cup of salt might be too much..! Ha ha!

How long can or should the roast sit in the oven turned off?

Thanks for the clarification, Crystal! I'll be sure to try this on our Christmas roast "beast".

I've left it sit anywhere from 2 hours to 5 hours. Just depends on what is going on around the house.
