Beef Standing Rib Roast with Herb Au Jus

Combine salt, pepper blend, rosemary, thyme, and crushed red pepper on a large cutting board. Roll over mixture with a rolling pin until peppercorns are lightly cracked. Rub oil over roast. Roll the roast in the pepper mixture to coat on all sides. Using a sharp knife, make five 1-inch slits in the fat side of the roast; insert garlic into slits. Cover and refrigerate beef for 24 hours.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place roast, fat side up, on a rack in a large roasting pan. Pour broth into bottom of pan. Roast, uncovered, for 2-1/2 to 3-hours for medium rare (130 degrees) or 3-1/2 to 4 hours for medium (140 degrees).

Transfer roast to a cutting board. Tent with foil and let stand 15 minutes. 

While roast is standing, prepare Herb au Jus: Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet. Whisk in flour until smooth. Whisk in pan drippings, red wine, and thyme, rosemary, and parsley sprigs and bay leaf. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until reduced and thickened. Strain mixture; discard herbs. Stir in 1 tablespoon butter just before serving. Slice and serve roast with Herb au Jus.
