   Preheat oven to 375u00b0F. Heat oil in large wide ovenproof skillet over mediumhigh heat until nearly smoking. Add roast, fat side down, to skillet; cook until well browned on bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn roast, fat side up, and transfer skillet to oven.

Add broth and boil until liquid is reduced by about 1/3, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Add any accumulated juices from meat to skillet; boil 1 minute longer. Turn off heat; add frozen butter and swirl skillet until butter is blended into sauce. Season sauce with salt and pepper.

   A Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. We like the blackberry and blueberry flavors and the subtle cocoa and spice of the 2005 Ladera ($39).
