BEEF RIB ROAST

Function: ROAST

Temperature: 425˚F (218˚C) for 20 minutes, and 325˚F (162˚C) for 1 hour 20 minutes

Cooking Time: 1 hour 40 minutes (approximately)

Convection Fan: ON

Yield: 6 servings

4 lb (1.8 kg) Beef rib roast, 2 ribs

1.Place the Rib Roast bone side down onto the broil rack inserted in the baking pan (to catch the drippings).

2.Set the wire rack in the bottom rack height position. Turn the function dial until the LCD indicator points to ROAST, set the temperature to 425˚F (218˚C) and the timer for 20 minutes. Press the START/ CANCEL button to activate.

3.After 20 minutes turn the temperature down to 325˚F (162˚C) and roast for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat (not near the bone) registers your preferred doneness. (Please see NOTE).

4.Remove the roast and tent with foil. Allow the roast to rest for 20 minutes before carving.

NOTE:

To reach the desired doneness of a roast, it is best to remove the roast from the BREVILLE SMART OVEN™ when the internal temperature

is 10˚F (6˚C) below the desired temperature reading. The roast will continue cooking. The term is called "carry-over cooking". The internal temperature will continue to rise and cook the interior part of the meat. It is also extremely important to allow the roast to rest at least 20 minutes prior to carving. This allows the roast to relax and hold in its juices.
