This Stuffed Standing Rib Roast is a showstopping centerpiece featuring juicy bone-in beef roast filled with a savory herb, garlic, and breadcrumb stuffing, roasted to perfection for an unforgettable holiday or special occasion meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 standing rib roast (bone-in, 3 to 4 ribs)
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or softened butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • 2 tbsp parsley, chopped
  • 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup beef broth or red wine (for basting or roasting pan)
  • Butcher’s twine

Instructions

  1. Let the standing rib roast come to room temperature for about 1 hour.
  2. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  3. In a skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil and sauté onion and garlic until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in breadcrumbs, Parmesan, rosemary, thyme, and parsley. Let the stuffing mixture cool slightly.
  4. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket or slit into the center of the roast without cutting all the way through.
  5. Stuff the herb mixture into the pocket and tie the roast with butcher’s twine to secure.
  6. Rub the outside of the roast with salt, pepper, and remaining olive oil or butter.
  7. Place the roast in a roasting pan with broth or wine in the bottom.
  8. Roast at 450°F for 20 minutes to sear, then reduce temperature to 325°F (163°C) and roast for approximately 15 minutes per pound until desired internal temperature is reached (125°F for rare, 135°F for medium rare, 145°F for medium).
  9. Remove from oven and rest the roast for 20–30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer for best results—internal temperature rises about 5°F during resting.
  • Add crumbled sausage or blue cheese and walnuts for stuffing variation.
  • Skip stuffing and just season the roast if preferred.
  • Mustard and herb rub creates an extra crusty exterior.
