Foolproof Standing Rib Roast

This is what I'm cooking for dinner tonight. It is recipe from Paula Deen at Foodnetwork.com

1 (5 pound) standing rib roast (beef)

Allow the roast to stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Rub roast with salt, pepper, garlic powder. Place on a rack in a roasting pan with the rib side down and the fatty side up. Roast for 1 hour. Turn off oven. Leave roast in oven but do not open oven door for 3 hours. About 30 to 40 minutes before serving time, turn oven to 375 degrees and reheat the roast. Important that you do not remove the roast or open the oven door from time roast is put in until ready to serve.

I buy my rib roast from the Kroger Grocery Store. The butcher has to cut the size roast I need. It was scary to cook such an expensive cut of meat this way, but this is the third time I have followed this recipe and the meat has been very good. The first roast only weighed 3 pounds and got a little too done, but was still very tender and tasty.
