Beef....it's what's for dinner!

My husband has a love affair with everything and anything beef.  Yesterday I treated him to a dinner consisting of a standing rib roast, roasted veggies and a salad for dinner.  As they say, "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach!"  Take a looksy....

We served this one other time when we had company.  I was then asked for the recipe (I have to admit, it is pretty amazing).  I got it from the Barefoot Contessa cookbook and the ingredient include standing rib roast, salt AND pepper; that's it.  The trick is all in the cooking rather than the ingredients.  Here's the link if you're interested:  www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/sunday-rib-roast-recipe/index.html
