Cast Iron Skillet Prime Rib Roast And Gravy Recipes

CAST-IRON SKILLET PRIME RIB ROAST AND GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
• Rub beef roast with sea salt and black pepper. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat; sear roast on all sides in the hot skillet, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Turn roast so the ribs and fat side are facing up.
• Roast prime rib in the preheated oven for 45 minutes; scatter onion quarters around roast and continue cooking until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat reads 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for rare, about 2 more hours.
• Remove roast from skillet, wrap meat in aluminum foil, and let rest for 15 to 20 minutes to let juices reabsorb into the meat. Leave onion pieces in skillet.
• Pour drippings from skillet into a bowl and skim off excess grease. Return degreased drippings to skillet with onion pieces, place over medium heat, and melt butter in the drippings. Whisk flour into mixture to make a paste, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir red wine into flour paste until smooth. Mix beef stock into pan gravy until smooth; stir thyme sprigs into gravy.
• Reduce heat to low and simmer gravy until thickened, 5 to 8 minutes. Strain gravy, discard onion pieces and thyme, and serve with prime rib.

CAST IRON ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the roast on a paper towel-lined plate. Allow the roast to come up to room temperature, about 1 hour.
• Pat the roast dry on all sides with paper towels. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
• Place a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add the oil and heat until shimmering. Carefully lay the roast in the hot oil, being mindful that the oil may pop. Sear the roast until evenly browned and deeply seared on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Turn off the heat and pour 1 cup beef stock into the skillet. Add the garlic cloves and surround the roast with the rosemary and thyme.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast, 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the desired doneness (for medium and a bright pink center, cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the roast registers 130 degrees F, about 50 minutes). Transfer the roast to a cutting board. Discard the garlic cloves and herbs. Tent the roast with aluminum foil while creating the pan sauce.
• Place the skillet back on the stove over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, red wine and remaining 1/2 cup beef stock and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the shallots have softened and the liquid has reduced in volume by half, about 5 minutes. Stir in the brandy, heavy cream and mustard and cook just until a thin sauce comes together, about 2 minutes more.
• Slice the rested roast thinly and place on a serving platter. Serve warm with a drizzle of the sauce and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

PRIME RIB AND GRAVY

Steps:

• Combine the salt, pepper, thyme, granulated garlic and mushroom powder in a small bowl. Mix well.
• Season the beef on all sides with the salt mixture. Wrap the beef in butcher paper and place in the refrigerator 12 hours, or up to 36 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Remove the roast from the refrigerator and pat dry with paper towels. Season the beef with the remaining salt mixture.
• Scatter the onions, rosemary and garlic in the center of the roasting pan and drizzle with oil. Put the meat bone-side down on top of the vegetables and place in the oven. Cook until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 110 to 115 degrees F, 3 to 3 1/2 hours (use an instant-read thermometer!!). Remove the meat to a rack and loosely cover with aluminum foil.
• Turn the oven to 500 degrees F. While the oven heats, place the roasting pan on the stovetop over medium heat. Drain any excess fat from the pan, if necessary. Add the beef stock to the pan and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Strain into a smaller saucepan and bring to a simmer.
• Combine the cornstarch and water and mix until smooth. Whisk the cornstarch mixture into the beef stock and return to a simmer. Whisk the butter into the sauce.
• Return the beef to the oven on a rack set over a roasting pan. Roast until well browned on all sides, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the meat from the oven and rest 10 minutes before slicing. To slice, remove the strings. Remove the meat from the rack of bones. Put the bones on the rack (with the rawer side up) in the roasting pan and cook until crispy on top, 4 to 5 minutes (watch carefully). Slice the meat into 1/2-inch slices. Pour the gravy into a serving vessel. Serve with the bones, if desired.
