1 standing bone-in rib roast 6 to 10 pounds Salt and fresh ground black pepper
Season the meat generously with salt and pepper. Use about a tablespoon of salt per 5 pounds.
Place on a rack set on a rimmed baking sheet and set in the refrigerator uncovered overnight, or up to three days.
Remove from the refrigerator, and let it sit at room temperature for at least an hour.
Preheat the oven to 200° F. Lightly season the meat again with salt and pepper.
Place the roast with the fat side up on a rack in a large roasting plan.
Cook until the internal temperature registers 120° F - 125° F on a meat thermometer for medium-rare, about 3 ½ to 4 hours.
Remove from the oven and tent tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for at least 30 minutes.
While the meat is resting, turn the oven to 550° F.
Remove the foil, and place the roast in the oven.
Cook for 5 to 10 minutes, until browned and crisp.
Carve and serve immediately.
