One Rib for Two

My kids don't like beef so I like making this for my husband and myself - we can have a nice roast beef dinner without leftovers. It's easy too! Prep time does not include the time it takes for the beef to freeze.

• Ready In: 1 hr 35 mins
• Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 2 1⁄2 lbs  standing rib roast (1 rib)
• 1  tablespoon olive oil
• 1  clove garlic, mashed
• 2  large baking potatoes

Directions

1. Wrap the meat well and freeze until solid.
2. Mix the oil and garlic and rub the mixture evenly over the frozen meat.
3. Stand, rib bone down, on a rimmed baking sheet between the 2 potatoes, placed like book ends.
4. Roast frozen, do not thaw.
5. Roast in a preheated 400° oven 1 hour and 15 minutes for rare, 1 hour and 25 minutes for medium rare, 1 hour and 35-40 minutes for well done.
