Total preparation and cooking time: 2-3/4 to 3-1/2 hours

1	boneless beef rib roast (2 to 4 ribs), small end, (6 to 8 lbs.)
6 cloves	garlic, minced
1-1/2  Tbsp.	dried thyme
1 tsp.	cracked black pepper

1. Heat oven to 350°F. Combine garlic, thyme and pepper; press onto beef roast. Place roast, fat side up, in shallow roasting pan. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is centered in thickest part of beef, not resting in fat or touching bone. Do not add water or cover. Roast in 350°F oven 2-1/4 to 2-1/2 hours for medium rare; 2-3/4 to 3 hours for medium doneness.
2. Remove roast when meat thermometer registers 135°F for medium rare; 150°F for medium. Tent with foil. Let stand 20 minutes. (Temperature will continue to rise about 10°F to reach 145°F for medium rare; 160°F for medium.) Carve roast. Season with salt. Serve with Yorkshire puddings.

Makes 8 to 10 servings.
