Ingredients
Method

With rib ends up, press racks together to interlink bones and form “guard of honour.” Pull bases about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart to stabilize; place on baking sheet.
Roast in 425°F (220°C) oven for about 25 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted in centre registers 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing between bones. Serve with beans.
