What are your favorite seasonings on a rib roast?I am cooking one Sunday and not sure what seasonings I need to buy.Also,what sides do you pare with this?

I haven't cooked a prime roast in many years but am thinking just plain salt and pepper would do?!  I think the one I cooked, I studded it with garlic cloves all over--just a tiny slit deep enough to insert a clove. Sides could be anything you like--

Was just remembering that my SIL actually made Yorkshire pudding with her roast--it was years ago and was for our family Xmas dinner--it was delicious and oh so fancy!!

And I have dry marinated roasts before too--that is rubbing it very generously with seasonings,all dry ones,  and then setting it on a rack over  baking sheet into a refer, uncovered , overnight----had an extra refer in my garage that I used for this. Kind of like aging it for a while in a dry environment---

Seasoning, like @wagirl states, is how I would do it.

Sides: best to keep seasonal, not sure when you are fixing this meal but I like

• Roasted veg like red potatoes, green beans, shaved brussel spouts, butternut  or acorn squash, carrots. 
• Corn souffle or creamed corn. Onion casserole 
• kale salad with apple,  blue or feta cheese and a lightened up caesar dressing or balsamic Vinegrette 
• Rolls or crostinis ( I've never had Yorkshire pudding but would love to try it)

  Dessert: pie or cheesecake

I rub the roast with a couple of tbsps kosher salt and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight before roasting.

I rub with garlic salt and pepper. Let it come to room temperature for like half an hour before roasting. Sides I make are mashed potatoes with au ju and asparagus. Maybe a roll. Use a thermometer to make sure you don’t overcook it. Let rest for 10-15 min. before cutting.

Seasonings for rib roast are salt and pepper (fresh ground is a must!) only.  A good rib roast needs nothing else to enhance it for me. If you must, maybe some garlic salt.

Sides?  Green salad or green beans, and  baked potato (white or sweet).  Bread if you are into that.

for me just salt and pepper.  I also score the top first.  I make Yorkshire pudding with the drippings.  My family loves it.

I use the Kansas City Steaks Original Seasoning mix.  I use it on any type of beef I'm cooking.

  Cut slits in the roast and add thin slices of fresh garlic .  Place in  dish, remove any liquid  dripping off roast  .Let sit over night uncovered  in refridgerator to dry the outside out which  will give that incredible crusting as they do in restaurants .  Take out of fridge  abt 1/2 hr before cooking. Sprinkle Montreal seasoning all over the roast .  Preheat oven while roast is setting out at room temp .

I use Montreal  seasoning by MCCormick . It's a little coarse  which I like .

I use Himalayan pink salt with Tellicherry black pepper.

DH makes it in the Ronco E-Z store rotisserie. It gives it that incredible crusting your talking about. YUM!!! The end pieces are the best.

We have made it in the Nesco with roast air fan, in the oven, on the smoker & using the in-direct cook method on the Weber grill. It turns out the best in the rotisserie.
