Yield Serves 8-10

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/3 cup dried porcini mushrooms (about 1/2 ounce)
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
1 teaspoon marjoram or oregano leaves
1 (4-rib) bone-in rib roast (about 10 pounds)
Flaky sea salt and Horseradish-Yogurt Sauce (for serving; optional)

Steps:

  • Pulse mushrooms, kosher salt, peppercorns, and marjoram in a spice mill or mini food processor until coarsely ground. Pat meat dry, then rub mushroom mixture all over. Transfer to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Let sit at room temperature 1 hour (for even more flavor, chill, uncovered, overnight, then let sit at room temperature 1 hour before roasting).
  • Preheat oven to 225°F. Roast meat until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 120°F (for medium-rare), about 4 hours. Tent with foil and let sit at room temperature at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
  • Increase oven temperature to 500°F. Remove foil and roast meat until browned and crisp, 5-10 minutes. Immediately transfer to a cutting board. Cut off ribs in 1 piece, then slice into individual ribs. Carve roast into 1/2" slices and arrange on a serving platter along with ribs. Season with sea salt and serve with Horseradish-Yogurt Sauce, if desired.
  • Do Ahead
  • Rub can be made 1 day ahead; store in an airtight container at room temperature.
