Standing Rib Roast, Spinach-Porcini Stuffing, Irish Whiskey Gravy, and Horseradish CreamDan Forbes

An impressive roast. Irish whiskey adds complexity to the gravy, which was inspired by steak au poivre. Plan to make and chill the stuffing one day ahead. There will be only a small amount of stuffing for each person, but it's so rich and flavorful that you won't need more.
