3. In a small bowl, mash together the 5 smashed garlic cloves, horseradish, fresh rosemary (discard the stems), salt, pepper and olive oil to make a paste.
4. Preheat oven to 350°F.
5. Spread the paste generously over the entire roast.

10. Place pan in preheated 350 F oven and roast for 1 hour.
11. Remove aluminum foil and continue to roast for another 1/2 to 1 hour or until the temperature of the meat (using an insert thermometer) registers 135°F to 140 F for a rare roast.
12. Remove the roast from the pan to a cutting board; cover with aluminum foil and let it rest for 20 minutes before carving.
13. Pour off some of the pan drippings and place pan on stovetop over medium-high heat.
14. Add the red wine and bring to a simmer, scraping the bits on the bottom of the pan.
15. Cook until the wine is reduced by half.
16. In a bowl, whisk together beef broth and flour until smooth, NO LUMPS.
17. Pour mixture into the pan and continue to cook, whisking until sauce thickens into a gravy, about 10 minutes.

This was the star attraction at xmas dinner! Complete silence for about 5 minutes as everyone dug in :) I had to use dried rosemary as no fresh was available, and I didn't make the gravy because some of the paste fell into the pan & it was pretty burned into the drippings- no matter, good beef doesn't need a sauce & I didn't serve potatoes. I doubled the paste because, while my roast was a 3-rib, it weighed over 8lbs because I used the better "small end" (first cut, or ribs #10-12); My baking time was around 2 hours. We loved the combination of garlic & rosemary flavors. Thank you!
