Moose Prime Rib with Yorkshire Pudding

1. Seasoning: Season the roast generously with salt and pepper, then refrigerate uncovered overnight or up to 24 hours. This dry-ages the surface for a better crust.

2. Initial Roasting: Start in a blazing hot 450°F oven for 20 minutes. This initial blast of heat builds that gorgeous, flavorful crust.

3. Slow Roasting: Reduce the temperature to 325°F and continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (with 3-minute rest).

4. Pudding Preparation: While the roast cooks, whisk together the Yorkshire pudding batter and let it rest for 5-10 minutes at room temperature. This is essential for a good rise.

5. Final Assembly: Pour the batter into a pan with smoking hot moose drippings and bake at 375°F until puffed and golden. The drippings give it incredible flavor.

6. Carving: Slice between the bones for impressive individual portions. Each rib makes a stunning presentation with the Yorkshire pudding alongside.

Serving: Traditional with horseradish cream, roasted vegetables
