Standing Rib Roast
Ingredients
  • 1 (7 pound) standing rib roast
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons red wine
  • 2 cups Swanson® Beef Stock or Swanson® Unsalted Beef Stock
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the optimal temperature of 325 degrees Fahrenheit (or 165 degrees Celsius, if you prefer metric). Next, take your beef and generously sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper to enhance its flavor. Position the beef in a suitable roasting pan, ensuring it is placed with the rib side facing downwards.
2
Allow the beef to roast in the oven until it reaches your desired level of doneness, which should take approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes. To check for doneness, simply insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the beef. If it reaches 130 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, you can remove it from the oven.
3
Once removed from the oven, place the beef on a stable cutting board and permit it to rest for 20 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender final product.
4
Remove any excess fat from the roasting pan using a spoon. Next, add the wine to the pan and bring it to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. As the wine comes to a boil, scrape up any browned bits that have accumulated at the bottom of the pan.
5
Reduce the heat to a lower setting and continue cooking the wine mixture for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This step is crucial in developing a rich and flavorful sauce.
6
Strain the wine mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a clean saucepan to remove any sediment.
7
Combine the stock and flour in a separate medium-sized bowl, whisking them together until smooth. Gradually add the stock mixture to the saucepan with the wine, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.
8
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it boils and thickens to your liking. This should take approximately 5 minutes.
9
Finally, season the sauce with additional salt and black pepper if desired. Serve the rich stock mixture alongside your perfectly cooked beef
