Classic Standing Beef Rib Roast

Step 1

Heat the oven to 325°F.  Season the beef with the salt and black pepper.  Place the beef into a roasting pan, rib-side down.

Step 2

Roast for 2 hours 20 minutes for medium-rare or until desired doneness.  Remove the beef to a cutting board and let stand for 20 minutes.

Step 3

Spoon off any fat from the pan drippings. Stir the wine in the pan and heat over medium-high heat to a boil, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.  Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes.  Pour the wine mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a 2-quart saucepan.

Step 4

Stir the stock and flour in a medium bowl with a whisk.  Gradually add the stock mixture to the saucepan, stirring with a whisk.  Cook and stir over medium heat for 5 minutes or until the mixture boils and thickens.  Season with additional salt and black pepper, if desired.  Serve the stock mixture with the beef.
