Featuring U.S. Meat Export Federation through Beef. It’s What’s For Dinner.

Ingredients

1	bone-in beef rib roast (2 to 4 ribs), small end, chine (back) bone removed (2.7 to 3.6 kg)
120 ml	pure maple syrup
1 tbsp	chopped fresh thyme or 1 tsp dried thyme leaves
tsp	minced garlic
2 medium	acorn squash, cut lengthwise in half and seeded

Step 1
Preheat oven to 175°C. Combine maple syrup, thyme, and garlic in a medium bowl. Reserve 60 ml for the squash. Brush half of the remaining syrup mixture onto all surfaces of the bone-in beef rib roast. Reserve the remaining mixture for basting.
Step 2
Place roast, fat-side up, in a shallow roasting pan. Insert an ovenproof meat thermometer so the tip is centered in the thickest part of the beef, not resting in fat or touching bone. Do not add water or cover. Roast in a 175°C oven for 2¼ to 2½ hours for medium rare; 2½ to 3 hours for medium doneness, basting with syrup mixture halfway through roasting time.
Step 3
Meanwhile, place squash, cut sides up, in a 33 × 23 cm glass baking dish. Brush cut sides of squash with some reserved syrup mixture; evenly pour remaining mixture into each well. Roast, uncovered, for 45 minutes, brushing cut sides with syrup mixture from the wells halfway through baking time.
Step 4
Remove roast when meat thermometer registers 57°C for medium rare or 63°C for medium doneness. Transfer roast to a carving board and tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let stand for 15 to 20 minutes. (Temperature will continue to rise about 5°-8°C to reach 63°C for medium rare or 71°C for medium.) Meanwhile, increase oven temperature to 220°C and continue to roast squash for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender and edges begin to brown.
Step 5
Carve roast into slices. Cut each squash half into 2 wedges, carefully spooning syrup mixture onto each wedge. Season beef and squash with salt and pepper, as desired.
