Savory Prime Rib

Cooking Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F. Place the roast fat side up in a large roasting pan that has been coated with nonstick vegetable spray. In a small bowl, combine the garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, and tarragon; mix well, then reserve 2 teaspoons of the mixture. Rub all but the reserved spice mixture evenly over the roast and roast for 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours for medium-rare (150F on a meat thermometer), or until desired doneness. Remove from the oven and allow to stand for 10 minutes before cutting. In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the brown gravy, red wine, reserved spice mixture, and pan drippings over medium-low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, or until heated through, mixing well. Slice the rib eye across the grain and serve with the sauce.
