Easy Prime Rib Au Jus
An elegant, savory and delicious prime rib that is easy to prepare and makes any meal a special one.
Ingredients
- One 6 - 7 lb. bone in prime rib roast
- Kosher Salt
- Coarsely ground black pepper
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 4 cups beef stock
- 2 cups red wine
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary with leaves removed from stem and chopped
Instructions
TO MAKE THE ROAST
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Season the roast liberally with salt and pepper.
- Set the roast on a rack inside a roasting pan and roast for 30 minutes. Do not cover the roast.
- Turn the oven temperature down to 350 degrees F and continue roasting until an instant thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 130 degrees F, for medium rare, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Transfer the meat to a platter and tent with tin foil to keep warm.
- Do not slice the roast at this point. Allow the roast to rest for at least 10 minutes.
TO MAKE THE AU JUS
- Place the roasting pan across two burners on the stove and turn them to high.
- Add the entire stick of butter to the pan and use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen the cooked-on bits.
- Add the beef stock and red wine and cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 20 minutes.
- Whisk in the rosemary and season with salt and pepper.
TO SERVE
- Slice the meat between the bones, into individual steaks and serve each steak with the red wine au jus.
