Prime rib always makes an impression on a holiday dinner table, and it's actually easy to prepare. This roast is wonderfully flavored with a prime rib rub featuring lots of fresh herbs. —Jennifer Dennis, Alhambra, California

Ingredients

1 large shallot, coarsely chopped
6 garlic cloves, quartered
3 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary or 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
2 tablespoons minced fresh oregano or 2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme or 2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 tablespoons minced fresh sage or 2 teaspoons rubbed sage
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 teaspoons pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 bone-in beef rib roast (4 pounds)
SAUCE:
1-1/2 cups reduced-sodium beef broth
1 cup dry red wine or additional reduced-sodium beef broth
1 teaspoon butter
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Place the first 6 ingredients in a food processor; cover and pulse until finely chopped. Add oil, pepper and salt; cover and process until blended. Rub over roast. Place on a rack in a large roasting pan.
Bake, uncovered, until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°), 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 hours.
Remove roast to a serving platter and keep warm; let stand 15 minutes before slicing.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring broth and wine to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced to 1 cup. Remove from heat; stir in butter and salt. Slice roast; serve with sauce.
