A rib roast can be cut into rib chops with a bone in each and these because the 10 to 13 rib bones are straight and flat, they are the best cut for recipes that require the ribs to be browned in a frying pan on the stovetop.

This recipe is for a boneless roast.
Recipe Summary Chef John's Garlic-Studded Roast Pork
Garlic-studded, herb-rubbed pork shoulder is such a great cut of meat. I cooked it in a pan without liquid, without covering it, and without cooking it at a really low temperature. I didn't want it to be falling apart and wet; I wanted it to be solid, chewy and crusty.Ingredients | Center Cut Pork Roast Recipes
3 ½ pounds bone-in pork shoulder roast
6 cloves garlic, halved
1 tablespoon olive oil
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ cup thinly sliced baby romaine lettuce
¼ cup halved cherry tomatoes
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 cups cooked white beans
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Cut about 6 holes per side into pork roast with a sharp knife and insert garlic clove halves into the holes. Rub roast with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season all sides of roast with kosher salt and a generous amount of black pepper, Italian seasoning, rosemary, and cayenne pepper. Place into a roasting pan.
Roast in the preheated oven for 3 hours. Turn off the oven with roast inside and leave it to rest for 1 hour. Refrigerate meat overnight.
Cut cold pork into 1/2-inch-thick slices. If any garlic appears on the cut surface of the meat, pick it out so it doesn't burn. Season slices with salt.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-low heat and sear pork slices in the hot oil until browned and crusty, about 10 minutes per side.
Toss lettuce with tomatoes in a bowl and drizzle with red wine vinegar; toss again to coat.
Heat beans in a saucepan over low heat. Layer about 1/3 cup white beans into a large, shallow soup plate; top beans with a slice of pork shoulder and about 1/4 cup lettuce mixture.
