A rib roast is a classic Christmas dinner (and beyond) centerpiece, and part of its beauty is in its simplicity. That being said, in this recipe, one ingredient takes this classic recipe to a whole new level: onion soup mix. You can use any brand you like, but Lipton Recipe Secrets is a go-to choice for me. All you need to do is cover every side of your rib roast with the seasoning mix, sear and cook as directed, and in a couple of hours you’ll have the most flavorful holiday main. Trust me—this might just become your new holiday staple.
If your rib roast is slightly bigger, or if you prefer yours at a different level of doneness, refer to this guide: Rib roasts usually cook at about 15 minutes per pound for rare, and 17 minutes per pound for medium. My top tip? Always use a meat thermometer so you know exactly when your roast reaches your desired level of doneness.
