Thyme Rib Roast

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 475u00b0. Put roast, rib side down, in center of a 13 x 9-inch flameproof roasting pan and rub all over with 1 tablespoon oil. Press thyme to adhere. Season beef generously with salt and pepper. Roast beef in middle of oven for 30 minutes. Remove beef from oven and with a bulb baster, skim all but 1/2 cup fat from pan. Baste beef with fat remaining in pan. Reduce oven temperature to 375u00b0. Roast beef 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours more or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of meat registers 115u00b0. Transfer beef to a platter, reserving pan juices. Let beef stand 25 minutes. (Meat will continue to cook, reaching about 130u00b0 for medium-rare.)
