Herbed Rib Roast
4 pounds beef rib roast
1 clove garlic -- cut in half
1/4 cup Dijon mustard -- country style
3/4 cup fresh parsley -- chopped
1 1/2 Tablespoons fresh thyme -- or 1 1/2 t. dried
1 1/2 Tablespoons fresh rosemary -- or 1 1/2 t. dried
2 cloves garlic -- minced
1 Tablespoon olive oil
Heat oven to 325 degrees. Place beef roast, fat side up, on rack in
shallow roasting pan. Rub roast with garlic halves. Spread mustard over
top and sides of roast. Mix remaining ingredients except oil; stir in
oil. Spread herb mixture over top and sides of roast.
