Expert Tips That I Recommend

- As a rib roast is thick, it is important to season the exterior well. You can also salt it hours before preparing it.
- Make sure you use softened butter and not melted butter because softened butter adheres better to the roast.
- If your roast is unevenly shaped, then you can tie it with kitchen twine. It helps in even cooking.
