Number Of Ingredients 23

1 bone-in beef rib roast (6 to 8 #)
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp freshly ground pepper
3 C water
2 small onions, halved
7 garlic cloves
5 fresh sage sprigs
5 fresh thyme sprigs
2 bay leaves
SAUCE:
2 tb butter
3 shallots, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
5 fresh sage sprigs
5 fresh thyme sprigs
2 bay leaves
1 TB all-purpose flour
2 TB cracked black pepper
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1 1/2 to 2 1/2 C beef stock, divided
1/2 C dry red wine or beef stock
1/2 tsp red wine vinegar
Fresh thyme sprigs optionl

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°. Place roast in a shallow roasting pan, fat side up; rub with salt and pepper. Add 1 cup water, onions, garlic and herbs to roasting pan. Roast 15 minutes.
  • Reduce oven setting to 325°. Roast 3 to 3-1/2 hours longer or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°), adding 1 cup water every hour.
  • For sauce, in a large saucepan, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add shallots; cook and stir 5-6 minutes or until tender. Add garlic and herbs; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in flour, pepper and salt until blended. Gradually stir in 1-1/2 cups stock. Remove from heat.
  • Remove roast to a serving platter; tent with foil. Let stand 15 minutes before carving. Meanwhile, strain any pan juices through a sieve into a measuring cup; discard onions and herbs. Skim fat from pan juices. If necessary, add additional stock to pan juices to measure 1 cup. Add to shallot mixture.
  • Place roasting pan over two burners; add wine. Bring to a boil; cook 2-3 minutes, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Add to sauce. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally; cook until mixture is reduced to about 1-1/2 cups, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Stir in vinegar; strain, discarding shallots and herbs. Serve with roast and, if desired, garnish with thyme.
  • Yield: 10 servings (1-1/2 cups sauce).
