Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Step 2

Place pan in oven, allowing room for bag to expand during cooking without touching heating elements, wall, or racks. Bag should not hang over pan.

Step 3

Cut six 1/2-inch slits in top of bag to allow steam to escape. Insert an oven-safe meat thermometer through one of the slits into center of roast, making sure thermometer does not touch bone. Tuck ends of bag in pan.

Step 4

Place oven bag in a roasting pan at least 2 inches deep.

Step 5

Whisk wine, shallot, olive oil, flour, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, sage, thyme, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl; pour into bag. Add rib roast, coat with marinade. Close bag with tie (found inside package). Marinate in the refrigerator for 6 to 24 hours, turning bag occasionally.

Step 6

Cook until desired doneness. Allow 1 3/4 to 2 1/4 hours for medium rare (135 degrees F) or 2 1/4 to 2 3/4 hours for medium (150 degrees F). Let stand in oven bag for 15 minutes. (The temperature of the meat after standing should be 145 degrees F for medium rare or 160 degrees F for medium.) Carefully cut open top of oven bag. Remember: Always support bag with pan.

Step 7

Transfer roast to a cutting board; carve. Carefully drain juices from oven bag into a baking dish; discard bag. Skim excess fat from juices. Stir in butter. Serve hot pan juices over sliced roast.
