Easy Au Jus For Prime Rib Recipes

PRIME RIB AU JUS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Using a paring knife make small slits into roast about 3-inches apart and press the garlic slivers into the slits. Using a pastry brush, coat the entire roast with the mustard. Sprinkle on the peppercorn and garlic marinade to completely cover the roast. Place on a rack in a roasting pan and cook until the thermometer inserted into the center reads 130 degrees F. Remove the roast from the oven, cover with foil and allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
• To make the Au Jus: Place the roasting pan over stovetop burners on medium low. Whisk in the worcestershire sauce and wine and scrape up the little brown bits from the bottom of the roasting pan. Reduce slightly and add the broth. Bring to a simmer and reduce slightly. Serve along with the sliced prime rib.

TWO PRIME RIB AU JUS RECIPES (CLASSIC BEEF AND RED WINE)

Steps:

• Add the beef drippings (or butter) to a medium saucepan over medium heat (and melt if using butter or cold beef drippings). Sift the flour over the drippings/melted butter and whisk for 30-45 seconds.
• Add 1 cup of beef broth and whisk to combine. Slowly pour in the remaining beef broth while continuing to whisk. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the soy sauce, sea salt, and black pepper.
• Simmer for 4 minutes, allowing to reduce. Taste and adjust seasonings, if needed.
• Add the beef drippings (or butter) to a medium saucepan over medium heat (and melt if using butter or cold beef drippings).
• Add the shallots and cook for 30 seconds, stirring occasionally.
• Add the red wine and cook until the wine is reduced by about half (Tip- You should no longer smell the wine).
• Sift the flour over the red wine mixture and whisk for one minute.
• Add 1/4 cup of beef consommé and whisk. Add the rest of the beef consommé, thyme, bay leaf and black pepper. DO NOT add the salt until the end after you've tasted the reduced sauce.
• Simmer on low for 3-4 minutes to further reduce the au jus. Fish out the thyme sprig and bay leaf and discard. Taste and adjust seasonings, if needed.

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.

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.
