Salt And Pepper Crusted Rib Roast

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 450u00b0F with rack in middle.

2. 2

   Rub roast all over with oil, then sprinkle all over with kosher salt. Coarsely crush peppercorns in a folded kitchen towel (not terry cloth) with a meat pounder or bottom of a heavy skillet. Coat meat on all sides with peppercorns, pressing to help them adhere.

3. 3

   Roast on a rack in a 13- by 9-inch roasting pan 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350u00b0F and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of meat (do not touch bone) registers 110u00b0F, 1 1/2 to 2 hours more. Transfer to platter and let rest, uncovered, 30 minutes (temperature of meat will rise to about 130u00b0F for medium-rare).
