Ingredients:
1 rib roast
Seasoning salt
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Salt
Pepper

Directions:
Preheat oven to 500 degrees.  

Mix together seasoning salt, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper (to taste of each) in a small mixing bowl.  Rub the seasonings all over the outside of the rib roast.

Place the rib roast in a roasting pan (with the wire rack- to keep it off of the bottom of the pan).  Add 1/4-1/2 inch water to the bottom of the pan.

Put the roast in the 500 degree oven for 30 minutes.  Turn the oven off after the 30 minutes but DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR TO CHECK ON IT.  Leave rest in the oven for 30 minutes.

Turn the oven on to 250 degrees.  Let cook for 30 minutes (so far it has totaled 90 minutes in the oven).  After the 90 minutes in the oven, open the oven and check on the roast with a meat thermometer.  Add more water to the pan if needed.  Cook until the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees.  Let rest 10 minutes before cutting
