Chef James Holiday Prime Rib With Cabernet And Dried Cherry Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (6 pound) standing beef rib roast
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 carrots, chopped
3 ribs celery, chopped
2 small onions, chopped
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
2 cups Cabernet Sauvignon wine
4 ounces dried cherries
2 2/3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or as needed

Preparation

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Mix rosemary, garlic, and olive oil in a bowl. Rub standing rib roast with mixture and season liberally with kosher salt and black pepper.
Heat an 11-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until skillet is very hot. Brown standing rib roast on all sides in the hot skillet, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove meat from skillet. Cook and stir carrots, celery, and onions in the hot skillet until slightly browned; stir beef broth into vegetables. Place roast on top of vegetables in skillet.
Roast meat in the preheated oven until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the middle reads 120 degrees F (49 degrees C), about 2 1/2 hours.
Transfer roast from skillet to a serving platter, retaining pan drippings and vegetables; let rest at least 30 minutes before slicing.
About 15 minutes before serving, combine red wine with dried cherries in a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Simmer until cherries have absorbed all the wine, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally; remove from heat.
Melt butter in a separate saucepan over medium heat and whisk flour into hot butter to make a paste. Strain reserved pan juices into cherries using a fine mesh strainer. Bring cherry sauce with pan juices to a boil. Stir flour paste into sauce, reduce heat to low, and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season sauce with salt and black pepper. Serve sauce with roast.
