All the recipes I see online are pretty similar, anyone have a favorite or any tips?

I was going to suggest Sam's club for the rib roast.

Simple is best. Coarse salt, black bepper, oil. Garlic will burn. Put it into a hot oven for a half hour or so, then lower to 200-225. Cook to desired doneness, remove, and loosely foil to rest. Deglaze your pan with broth, wine, or both. Drop in fresh herbs like sage. You can add garlic to your au jus. Reduce, remove the herbs, and serve.

I don't do this anymore for family. Too much bitching about it being undercooked (it's not.)

Don't for get to serve horseradish.

Hat he does after seasoning meat and letting it come to room temp is he instructs you to use a blow torch.

was gonna say this. A nice crust totally kicks it up a notch

This browns the outside of the meat without sujbjecting it to the massive high heat needed in an oven (to achieve similar browning). You then park the beef into a super low oven and cook to desired temp.

I like cooking it in the 225 range to desired internal temp, resting, then hitting with the torch.

Either way, the only way I'd put it in a hot oven to get a crust is if I wanted a big gray ring of meat around the edges.

ask the butcher to separate it from the meat and truss it back on to it, this step adds a bit more flavor to the mixture.

Good tip, I'll ask them to do that. Thanks all
