Standing Roast Beef (Brined)

Ingredients

• 8 cups warm water
• 8 cups brewed French-roast coffee
• 1 cup kosher salt
• 1 package dry French onion soup mix , 1 ounce
• 1 onion , diced
• 0.25 cups minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 standing beef rib roast , 6 pound
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder , or to taste
• 2 teaspoons onion powder , or more to taste
• ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. 1

   Stir warm water, coffee, kosher salt, onion soup mix, onion, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce in a 16-quart stock pot until salt and onion soup mix has dissolved. Lay roast in the brine and cover pot; refrigerate at least 8 hours. Turn roast over at least twice during brining.

2. 2

   Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

3. 3

   Remove roast from brine and pat dry with paper towels. Place roast on a rack in a roasting pan with the fat side down; sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Flip roast and season other side the same way. Let roast stand until it reaches room temperature, about 1 hour.

4. 4

   Place roast into preheated oven and bake for 1 hour.

5. 5

   Turn off heat and leave meat in the hot oven, without opening oven door, for 3 hours. Turn oven back on and set heat for 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Let roast reheat until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the roast reads 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium-rare, 30 to 40 minutes.
