• 1 1/2 cups red wine
• 3 cups low-sodium beef broth
• 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme, finely chopped

Instructions

1. Thaw roast completely (3 to 4 days for 6 pound roast) in refrigerator before cooking.
2. Heat oven to 250 degrees F. Remove roast from packaging and pat dry with clean paper towels. Coat outside of roast with olive oil and liberally season with rub.
3. Place carrots, celery and onion in even layer on bottom of large roasting pan to catch beef drippings.
4. Place roast in roasting pan on elevated wire rack. Sprinkle any leftover rub on roast to ensure generous coating.

6. Remove roast from oven and let rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
7. Meanwhile, heat broiler to high, with rack positioned for roast to sit about 4 inches from heating element.
8. After roast has rested, place in oven under broiler, fat side up, for about 5 minutes to brown roast.
9. Remove pan from oven. Remove wire rack with roast from pan and place on carving board. Skim fat from pan, if necessary.
