  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/4 cup minced shallot
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

How to make rib roast with roasted garlic sauce

  • Put roast, ribs side down, in center of a 13 x 9 inch roasting pan and rub all over with 1/2 tablespoon oil.
  • Cut about 1/2 inch from tops of garlic heads to expose cloves and discard tops.
  • Rub beef all over with cut sides of garlic and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons thyme, pressing to adhere.
  • Season beef generously with salt and pepper.
  • Put garlic heads on a double layer of foil and drizzle with remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil.
  • Wrap garlic tightly in foil. Roast beef in middle of 475 degree F oven for 30 minutes.
  • Remove beef from oven and with a bulb baster skim all but about 1/2 cup fat from pan.
  • Baste beef with fat remaining in pan. Reduce temperature to 375 degrees F.
  • Add garlic to oven. Roast beef, with garlic, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours more, or until a meat thermometer inserted into center of meat registers 115 degrees F.
  • Transfer garlic in foil to a rack and transfer beef to a platter, reserving pan juices.
  • Let beef stand 25 minutes. Meat will continue to cook, reaching about 130 degrees F for medium-rare.
  • While beef is standing, remove all but about 2 tablespoons fat from pan.
  • Add shallot to pan and on top of stove cook over moderate heat, stirring, 2 minutes.
  • Unwrap garlic. Protecting your hand with a doubled paper towel, squeeze roasted garlic into shallot mixture and discard skins.
  • Add vinegar, wine, bay leaf, and remaining tablespoon thyme and boil mixture, scraping up brown bits and mashing garlic with a wooden spatula against bottom of pan, until reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 5 minutes.
  • In a small bowl mash together butter and flour to make a beurre manie.
  • Stir beef broth into garlic mixture and boil sauce until reduced to about 2 cups.
  • Whisk beurre manie into broth mixture and cook over moderate heat, whisking, until sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
  • Pour sauce through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing hard on solids.
  • Season sauce with salt and pepper. Cut rib roast into slices and serve with sauce.
