1 3/4 cups Madeira

INSTRUCTIONS

While roasting a prime rib or other beef roast separately, combine broth, Madeira, red wine, thyme, parsley, rosemary and bay leaf in a medium saucepan. Boil until the liquid is reduced to 2 cups, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat. Remove and discard herbs.

When the roast is done, transfer it to a platter. Discard most of the fat or reserve it to use in cooking Yorkshire puddings. Scrape the juices and browned bits from the roasting pan into the sauce and bring back to a boil.

Cream butter and flour together in a small bowl to blend. Whisk the butter blend into the sauce and simmer until smooth and slightly thickened, whisking frequently (about 2 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve with the roast beef.

NOTES

Marsala may be substituted for the Madeira.
