9 lbs prime rib roast, excess fat trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 medium onions, peeled, quartered
2 1/2 cups canned beef broth
1 3/4 cups madeira wine
1 1/4 cups dry red wine
4 large fresh thyme sprigs

1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons butter, room temperature

Preparation

Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 450\u00b0F Place beef, fat side up, on heavy large rimmed baking sheet. Rub with oil; sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast beef 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350\u00b0F Place onions around beef. Continue to roast until thermometer inserted into center of beef registers 125\u00b0F for medium-rare, stirring onions occasionally, about 2 hours 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine broth, Madeira, wine, thyme, parsley, rosemary, and bay leaf in medium saucepan. Boil until mixture is reduced to 2 cups, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat. Discard herbs.
Transfer beef to platter. Using slotted spoon, transfer onions to same platter; tent with foil. Let stand 30 minutes.
