PEPPERED RACK OF PORK

1 (3 to 4 pound) pork rib roast, with at least 6 ribs, chine bone cracked
1/4 cup pepper-blend seasoning

Heat oven to 375 degrees F.

Trim rib bones of roast of all extra meat (this is called Frenching; you can do it yourself or ask the butcher to do it for you). Coat roast on all surfaces with pepper seasoning. Place roast, bones up, in shallow roasting pan.

Roast for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until internal temperature (measured with a meat thermometer) reads 155 degrees F. Remove roast from oven; let rest until temperature reaches 160 degrees F. - about 10 minutes.

Cut between rib bones to serve.
