Prime Rib (Foolproof ) With Au Jus Gravy

"A Christmas dinner tradition in my family accompanied with twice baked potatoes, rolls, green beans, fruit and great desserts! And the left overs are even better. Find roasts on sale?--have butcher give you the twine and place the seasonings on the roast, tie and freeze. Will marinate itself while you thaw it."

  1. Oh and for a additional meal with the leftovers try it blackened style! Use paul prodome's blackend redfish magic, a cast iron skillet and a little butter and oh what a meal! served some leftover ajus and your in for a treat!
     
  2. It was okay since I was making French Dips and forgot to get a packet of Au Ju! It was too salty though. I only used 3 bouillons instead of 4. I think I should have added less soy sauce or none at all. Added a splash of Worchestire sauce and that added good flavor. I didn't add any salt, but I did add pepper. I wish I would have added cornstarch at the beginning because it wasn't thick enough. Also, I think I would use the Better than Bouillon if I made it again.
     
  3. I will never make prime rib any other way! This is truly foolproof and idiot-proof. Prime rib is SO expensive, so I always approach it with some trepidation, worrying that I will overcook it and waste my money. Sometimes I win, and sometimes I lose. However, I now know I can win every time! This was so easy. I followed the timing for medium-rare, and it was perfect. I must say that the au jus gravy was phenomenal as well. The only thing I suggest is to prepare your side dishes the day before (unless you have a second oven) and plan on reheating them in the microwave or after the roast comes out of the oven. I did steal some of the drippings to make a Yorkshire pudding, which didn't effect the gravy at all. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this and making my holidays complete!
     
  4. This was awesome! I love the flexibility this recipe gave me to set the serving time after the initial prep and bake. I had about three different recipes I had received when I told people I was making my first prime rib. I took the cooking time/method from this one with most of the ingredients. The only change was that I rubbed mine with olive oil and used Montreal Steak seaoning along with five crushed garlic cloves. I followed the cooking directions to the letter though and this gave me a perfect med rare prime rib! I also added Recipe #39331 MizzNezz Horseradish Sauce. Thank you!
