Ingredients

• 1 piece standing rib roast (about 6-7 pounds, 3-4 ribs)
• 2 tablespoons kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons prepared horseradish
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3 tablespoons beef drippings or vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

Step 2

Pat the standing rib roast dry with paper towels. Generously season it with kosher salt, black pepper, and minced garlic. Rub olive oil all over the roast to coat evenly.

Step 3

Place the roast, fat-side up, on a rack set inside a roasting pan.

Step 4

Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes to sear. Lower the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting for an additional 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.

Step 5

While the roast is cooking, prepare the horseradish sauce by combining the prepared horseradish, sour cream, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and white vinegar in a bowl. Stir until smooth, then refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 6

Once the roast is done, cover it loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for 20 minutes before carving.

Step 7

To prepare the Yorkshire pudding, increase the oven temperature back to 425°F (218°C).

Step 8

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, and milk until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

Step 9

Place a muffin tin or a Yorkshire pudding pan in the oven with a little beef drippings or vegetable oil in each compartment. Heat until the oil is hot and shimmering.

Step 10

Remove the hot pan from the oven and pour the batter evenly into each compartment, filling them about halfway.

Step 11

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the puddings are golden and puffed.

Step 12

Slice the rib roast into portions and serve with the horseradish sauce and freshly baked Yorkshire puddings.
