Standing Rib Roast

"The most elegant of meats to grace your table." I read that somewhere. And it's true. It is also known as Royalty of Beefs. It is cooked with very little seasoning. This scrumptious finger-licking rib bones are just delectable. I can't say another word about it. It stands alone.
