Ingredients

1 (4 pound) rib roast
2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
0.25 cup sea salt
2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Place a rack inside a shallow roasting pan for optimal cooking.
Lightly brush the rib roast with olive oil, then generously rub sea salt, pepper, and minced garlic all over its surface. Position the roast onto the rack with the fatty side facing upwards to baste the meat as it cooks.
Roast in the preheated oven until nicely browned, approximately 30 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and cover the pan loosely with aluminum foil to prevent burning. Continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the rib roast registers 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for a medium finish, about 1 hour (or roughly 15 minutes per pound if your roast varies in size).
Remove the roast from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 to 20 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute. Take off the foil before slicing and serving to reveal the perfectly browned crust.
