1 well-trimmed beef rib roast (2 ribs), small end, chine (back) bone removed (4 to 6 pounds)
2 tablespoons steak seasoning blend
2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
Red Wine Pan Sauce:
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
3/4 cup dry red wine
1 can (13-3/4 to 14-1/2 ounces) beef broth
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Remove roast when meat thermometer registers 135°F for medium rare; 150°F for medium. Transfer roast to carving board; tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let stand 15 to 20 minutes. (Temperature will continue to rise about 10°F to reach 145°F for medium rare; 160°F for medium.)
Prepare Red Wine Pan Sauce. Skim fat from pan drippings, reserving 1 tablespoon. Heat reserved 1 tablespoon fat in 3-quart saucepan over medium heat until hot. Add onion; cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes or until tender. Place roasting pan over medium heat; add wine. Cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes or until browned bits attached to pan are dissolved. Add wine mixture and broth to onion in saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook 12 to 13 minutes or until reduced by about 1/3 (about 1-1/3 cups). Reduce heat to low. Combine butter and flour in small bowl until smooth. Whisk into wine sauce; cook and stir 1 minute or until sauce is thickened.
Carve roast into slices; season with salt, as desired. Serve with wine sauce.
