Ingredients: 1 bone-in beef rib roast (6 to 8 pounds); 1 tablespoon garlic powder; 1 tablespoon ground mustard; 1 to 2 teaspoons salt; 1 to 2 teaspoons pepper; 1/4 cup water; 1/4 cup beef broth; 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

This is one of my favorite ways to prepare a roast because it turns out so tender and flavorful. My husband and our six children just love it!

Ingredients

1 bone-in beef rib roast (6 to 8 pounds)
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon ground mustard
1 to 2 teaspoons salt
1 to 2 teaspoons pepper
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Place roast in a shallow roasting pan, fat side up. Mix seasonings; rub over roast. Add water, broth and vinegar to pan.
Roast 2-1/4 to 2-3/4 hours or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°). Baste occasionally with pan juices. Remove roast from oven; tent with foil. Let stand 15 minutes before carving.

I just made this for Christmas dinner and everyone loved it! So simple, too! Add this to your "simple but looks and tastes like gourmet" file. The only change I would make is perhaps increasing the broth mixture, as most of it evaporated during the roasting, and I only got to baste the roast once or twice.
