A standing rib roast should be cooked in the oven at 450 degrees for fifteen minutes to create a crust on the standing rib roast.

Lastly, standing rib roasts cooked to medium should reach an internal temperature of 140 degrees. The second method is called the reverse sear method for cooking standing rib roasts. Standing rib roasts should be cooked in an oven between 225 and 250 degrees until the standing rib roast reaches an internal temperature that is between ten and fifteen degrees less than the standing rib roast’s target doneness temperature.
Once the standing rib roast reaches the target internal temperature, the oven should be increased to 500 degrees to sear the standing rib roast. This cooking method will prevent the standing rib roast from having a gray band of overcooked standing rib roast around the pink center of the roast. A meat thermometer should be used to cook the standing rib roast to the proper internal temperature.
Ovens can be inaccurate in the temperatures they indicate so a meat thermometer will allow you to know the internal temperature of the standing rib roast. The meat thermometer should be inserted into the thickest part of the standing rib roast but should not be inserted into the bone inside the standing rib roast.

If using herb butter, you should smear it onto the standing rib roast. The standing rib roast should be refrigerated uncovered so that the standing rib roast firms up, which will allow for browning of the standing rib roast.
Standing rib roasts should be allowed to rest for at least twenty minutes after removal from the oven. Smaller roasts only requires twenty minutes of resting while larger standing rib roasts should be allowed to rest for thirty minutes. During resting, standing rib roasts should be covered with foil but should not be wrapped so that the steam that is released from the roast while resting does not soften the crust of the standing rib roast.

Au jus can be made using the drippings that remains in the pan after the standing rib roast is cooked.
The fat that collects in the pan should be poured off the standing rib roast. Add half a cup of red wine to the pan to deglaze the pan. Add two cups of beef broth to the pan and simulate the sauce for ten minutes.
While the standing rib roast is resting, the au jus can be strained into a warm boat so that it can be served with the standing rib roast. When preparing the pan in which the standing rib roast will be cooked, the fat cap of the standing rib roast should be placed with the fat facing upward into the pan. Additionally, the standing rib roast should be placed on a rack within the pan so that the roast can be cooked even on all sides.
The standing rib roast should be taken out of the refrigerator at least two hours prior to cooking so that the standing rib roast can reach the proper cooking temperature. Lastly, use a sharp knife to slice the standing rib roast into half inch portions. It could of been easier if you prepare it early.
