A savory herb rub flavors this juicy roast that makes an impression every time my mom serves it for dinner. The creamy horseradish sauce adds a little kick to the crispy-coated slices of beef. -Kerry Sullivan, Maitland, Florida

Ingredients

  • 2 bone-in beef rib roasts (4 to 6 pounds each)
  • 2 teaspoons fennel seed, crushed
  • 2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed
  • 2 teaspoons each dried basil, marjoram, savory and thyme
  • 2 teaspoons rubbed sage
