How to Cook a Cross Rib Roast in the Oven

* 4-5 lb cross rib roast, bone-in

* 2 tablespoons olive oil

* 2 teaspoons salt

* 1 teaspoon black pepper

* 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

* 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

* 1/4 cup beef broth

* 1/4 cup red wine

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

2. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub the mixture all over the roast.

3. Place the roast in a roasting pan and add the beef broth and red wine.

4. Roast for 20 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

5. Continue to roast for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (65 degrees C) for medium-rare, or 160 degrees F (70 degrees C) for medium.

6. Let the roast rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips

* If you don't have a roasting pan, you can also cook the roast in a Dutch oven or large saucepan.

* To make the gravy, strain the juices from the roasting pan and skim off the fat. Bring the juices to a boil in a saucepan, then whisk in a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water). Cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy has thickened.

* Cross rib roast is a delicious and flavorful cut of meat that is perfect for a special occasion. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or salad.
