Ribroastaujus Recipes

ROAST PRIME RIB WITH THYME AU JUS

Steps:

• Thirty minutes before roasting the prime rib, remove from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Make small slits all over the prime rib and fill each slit with a slice of the garlic. Season liberally with the salt and coarse pepper, place on a rack set inside a roasting pan and roast for about 2 hours until medium-rare, or until a thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 135 degrees F. Remove the meat to a platter, and tent with foil to keep warm.
• Place the roasting pan on top of the stove over 2 burners set on high heat. Add the wine to the pan drippings in the pan and cook over high heat until reduced, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the stock and cook until reduced by half. Whisk in the thyme and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Slice meat as desired and serve with thyme au jus.

RIB ROAST AU JUS

Steps:

• Halve garlic cloves and insert into roast, poking holes with point of knife. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• The next day, remove roast from refrigerator 2 to 3 hours ahead of time to allow meat to come to room temperature. Preheat oven to 450*. Rub salt and pepper into roast (a light coating of olive oil may help), place fat side up in roasting pan and roast at 450* for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350* and continue roasting until internal temperature reaches 140* for medium rare. Remove from oven and let stand on cutting board for 20 minutes before carving.
• While roast is resting, place roasting pan on stove top over high heat. Add wine and cook for several minutes, scraping up any brown bits. Add beef stock, cook and reduce by half (about 20 minutes). Serve with sliced roast.

DELECTABLE PRIME RIB AND AU JUS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Trim any thick pieces of dense, hard fat from the roast, but leave smaller areas of fat in place.
• In a bowl, mix 2 cups of beef base with minced garlic, and rub the mixture generously all over the roast. Sprinkle the roast with 1/2 cup of fresh thyme, 1/2 cup of oregano, the black peppercorns, and salt. Place into a roasting pan.
• Roast in the preheated oven until the meat has formed a brown crust and a quick-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast measures 135 degrees F (57 degrees C), for medium-rare, about 3 hours. If you prefer the meat well-done, roast an additional 45 minutes. Remove roast from oven, and allow to stand while you make the sauce. Temperature of the meat will rise about 10 more degrees as it rests.
• Pour the water into a saucepan, and dissolve 1 tablespoon of beef base in the water. Mix in the red wine, and stir in 1 teaspoon of thyme, 1 teaspoon of oregano, and the garlic powder. Add the celery, onion, and carrot pieces to the sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, and cook, stirring often, until the sauce reduces by half, 20 to 30 minutes. Strain sauce and discard vegetables before serving sauce with the roast.
