Yorkshire Pudding Perfect With Prime Rib Recipes

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.

STANDING RIB ROAST (PRIME RIB) WITH YORKSHIRE PUDDING

Steps:

• Season meat and bones of rib roast with salt. Rub mustard all over meat and sprinkle with rosemary and pepper. Place roast, rib-side down on a baking sheet. Transfer to refrigerator uncovered or loosely covered for 1 to 3 days; remove roast from refrigerator 3 hours prior to roasting.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees with a rack set in the bottom third.
• Place roast rib-side down in a roasting pan just large enough to fit the roast (about 12 by 14 inches). Transfer roast to oven and position pan so that the bone ends are facing the oven door. Roast until outside begins to brown and sizzle, about 20 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 325. Do not open oven. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast reaches 110 to 115 for rare, 120 degrees for medium-rare, and 125 degrees for medium, about 1 1/2 hours. If meat has not reached desired degree of doneness, cook 10 to 15 minutes more. Once roast reaches 95 degrees, the temperature should rise 8 to 10 degrees more for every additional 10 minutes cooked.
• Transfer roast to a carving board; let stand 25 to 40 minutes, loosely covered if desired. If you plan to make Yorkshire pudding, pour beef drippings into a glass measuring cup and set aside, along with the hot roasting pan. Cut strings and remove bones. Slice meat across the grain into 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick slices and transfer to a warm serving platter. Pour any drippings from carving over meat and serve.
