2 Tbsp. minced fresh thyme or 2 tsp. dried thyme
2 Tbsp. minced fresh sage or 2 tsp. rubbed sage

1 bone-in beef rib roast (4 lbs.)
Sauce: 1 ½ cups reduced-sodium beef broth
1 cup dry red wine or additional reduced-sodium beef broth

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring broth and wine to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced to 1 cup. Remove from heat; stir in butter and salt. Slice roast; serve with sauce. 8 serving
