Ingredients

• 4 lbs bone-in beef rib roast
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
• 0.5 cup dry white wine (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

Step 2

Pat the rib roast dry with paper towels. This helps the herb mixture stick better during cooking.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, and black pepper to create an herb paste.

Step 4

Rub the herb mixture evenly over the entire surface of the rib roast.

Step 5

Place the rib roast on a rack in a roasting pan, bone side down.

Step 6

Roast the beef in the preheated oven for 20 minutes to develop a flavorful crust.

Step 7

Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and continue roasting for about 90 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast reads 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.

Step 8

While the beef is cooking, in a small saucepan, combine the beef broth and white wine (if using). Simmer over low heat to create a simple jus for serving.

Step 9

Once the roast reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the oven and loosely tent it with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 10

Carve the roast into thick slices and serve with the jus on the side. Enjoy your Weight Watchers-friendly Herbed Rib Roast!
