Prime Rib With Cabernet Vegetable Au Jus Yorkshire Pudding With Chives Recipes

PRIME RIB WITH CABERNET JUS

Steps:

• In a large non-aluminum saucepan or pot, combine the jus ingredients: carbernet, stock, port, peeled garlic cloves, shallot, bay leaves, and dried thyme.
• Simmer until mixture reduces to 2 cups, about 1 hour.
• (Note: Cabernet reduction can be prepared 2 days ahead, which gives the flavors time to meld nicely; cool, cover and refrigerate.).
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place the prime rib fat-side-up in a heavy baking pan (13x9x2-inch), and rub it all over with the pressed garlic and 2 teaspoons dried/crushed thyme, then season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Roast in 450 degree oven for 30 minutes, then reduce temperature to 200 degrees F, tent the pan with foil, and continue roasting until a meat thermometer inserted into the center registers a rare 118 degrees F, about 2 1/2 hours (depending on cut and oven).
• (Alternately, instead of the slow roasting method you can follow what the recipe originally called for: 450 degrees F for 1 hour, tent with foil, then continue until it reads 118 degrees, about 35 minutes.).
• Transfer the meat to a serving platter, cover loosely with foil, and let stand for 20 minutes.
• About 5 minutes before serving, pour off all the fat from the roasting pan and place it over medium-high heat.
• Add the cabernet reduction to the pan and bring it to a boil - make sure to scrape up all the tasty browned bits - and season to taste with salt and pepper; pour the jus into a sauceboat.
• Garnish the beef serving platter with sprigs of parsley.
• Carve the beef and serve, passing the jus separately.

PRIME RIB AU JUS WITH YORKSHIRE PUDDING

Steps:

• Place the roast bone-side down in a roasting pan, and use a sharp paring knife to poke 24 small holes 1 inch deep all over the roast. Stuff each hole with a sliver of garlic. Sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon salt, and LOTS of black pepper. Allow the roast to stand at room temperature for 2 hours. This will take the chill off and allow the meat to cook more evenly.
• Meanwhile, beat together the eggs and milk with a pinch of salt until smooth. Stir in flour until smooth. Cover the Yorkshire pudding batter, and place in the refrigerator.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Cook the roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then lower the heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and continue roasting until a meat thermometer inserted in the center of the meat reaches 140 degrees F (60 degrees C), about 1 hour.
• When the roast is done, remove it from the roasting pan, cover with aluminum foil, and let rest in a warm spot while you make the Yorkshire pudding. Measure out 1/2 cup of the beef fat, and divide among 12 muffin tins; pour off the remaining fat, but save the roasting pan to make the jus.
• Place the grease-filled muffin tins into the oven, and turn the temperature up to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Let the muffin tins preheat for 10 minutes, then fill 3/4 full with the refrigerated batter, and return to the oven. Bake 20 to 25 minutes until the puddings have risen tall and are golden brown.
• While the Yorkshire puddings are baking, place the roasting pan on the stove over medium-high heat. Stir in the wine, and bring to a simmer while scraping to dissolve the pan drippings; pour in the beef stock and return to a simmer. Cook 10 minutes, then strain and serve with the roast and puddings.

YORKSHIRE PUDDING (PERFECT WITH PRIME RIB)

Steps:

• 1. EARLY ON THE DAY YOU ARE MAKING PRIME RIB FOR DINNER: Whisk the 2 eggs with 1/2 cup of the milk,set aside. In a large bowl, whisk the flour and salt together. Add the egg and milk mixture and whisk vigorously until there are absolutely no lumps left in the batter. (a Kitchen Aid is great for this!) Cover the batter with plastic wrap, and keep it at room temperature all day until you are ready to use it (at least 5 hours)
• 2. WHEN YOU ARE READY AND THE PRIME RIB IS RESTING: Heat oven to 425 degrees. (the oven will already be heated if you are just taking out the Prime Rib) Place a standard 12 muffin sized pan in the hot oven and heat it up until it is very,very hot. Measure out 1 teaspoon of the pan drippings into each muffin cup and place back in the oven. Leave it in there until the fat is literally smoking hot. I do mean smoking. Takes about 5 minutes,but just look for the smoke.
• 3. As the fat is heating, whisk in the remaining 1/2 cup of cold milk into the batter that has been sitting out all day. The milk must be cold,straight from the fridge. (when you make the batter in the morning, put a note on it to remind you to add the additional 1/2 cup of cold milk so you dont forget....I have forgotten in the past)
• 4. When the drippings are smoking and hot, take the pan out and working as quickly as you can, pour the batter evenly into the muffin cups. You will see as the batter hits the hot drippings, it will bubble and sizzle. If it doesnt, it wasnt hot enough. If it wasnt hot enough, you cant un-do it, it will still taste good, but you wont get the rise unless the drippings are smoking hot.
• 5. Immediately return pan to oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Do NOT open the oven door for the first 20 minutes of baking. It is done when the pudding is a dark golden brown and dry to the touch and has risen very high.
• 6. Serve immediately along with the Prime rib and Au Jus. You can easily double or triple this recipe (or half it for that matter) just as long as you remember to add the remaining cold milk later.

PRIME RIB

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees Place the roast, rib side down, in a large roasting pan.
• In a small bowl mash together garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper and oil to make a paste.
• Smear the paste generously over the entire roast.
• Scatter the vegetables around the meat and drizzle with oil.
• Roast for about 1 1/2-2 hours or approximately 20 minutes per pound for medium-rare.
• Check the internal temperature of the roast in several places with an instant-read thermometer, it should register 120-125 degrees for medium rare.
• Remove the beef to a carving board and allow to rest for 20 minutes to let the juices settle.
• Remove the vegetables and set aside.
• Pour the pan juices into a fat separator so you can use the broth for the au jus and save the fat for Yorkshire pudding.
• Place the roasting pan over medium-high heat.
• Add the cabernet and scrape up the brown bits in the bottom of the pan.
• Add sugar, water/beef drippings, reserved vegetables and parsley Season with salt and pepper.
• Continue to cook until the wine is reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
