Best Prime Rib Au Jus With Yorkshire Pudding Recipes

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.

YORKSHIRE PUDDING (PERFECT WITH PRIME RIB)

Steps:

• 1. EARLY ON THE DAY YOU ARE MAKING PRIME RIB FOR DINNER: Whisk the 2 eggs with 1/2 cup of the milk,set aside. In a large bowl, whisk the flour and salt together. Add the egg and milk mixture and whisk vigorously until there are absolutely no lumps left in the batter. (a Kitchen Aid is great for this!) Cover the batter with plastic wrap, and keep it at room temperature all day until you are ready to use it (at least 5 hours)
• 2. WHEN YOU ARE READY AND THE PRIME RIB IS RESTING: Heat oven to 425 degrees. (the oven will already be heated if you are just taking out the Prime Rib) Place a standard 12 muffin sized pan in the hot oven and heat it up until it is very,very hot. Measure out 1 teaspoon of the pan drippings into each muffin cup and place back in the oven. Leave it in there until the fat is literally smoking hot. I do mean smoking. Takes about 5 minutes,but just look for the smoke.
• 3. As the fat is heating, whisk in the remaining 1/2 cup of cold milk into the batter that has been sitting out all day. The milk must be cold,straight from the fridge. (when you make the batter in the morning, put a note on it to remind you to add the additional 1/2 cup of cold milk so you dont forget....I have forgotten in the past)
• 4. When the drippings are smoking and hot, take the pan out and working as quickly as you can, pour the batter evenly into the muffin cups. You will see as the batter hits the hot drippings, it will bubble and sizzle. If it doesnt, it wasnt hot enough. If it wasnt hot enough, you cant un-do it, it will still taste good, but you wont get the rise unless the drippings are smoking hot.
• 5. Immediately return pan to oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Do NOT open the oven door for the first 20 minutes of baking. It is done when the pudding is a dark golden brown and dry to the touch and has risen very high.
• 6. Serve immediately along with the Prime rib and Au Jus. You can easily double or triple this recipe (or half it for that matter) just as long as you remember to add the remaining cold milk later.

PRIME RIB ROAST AU JUS PERFECT EVERY TIME! NO FAIL

Steps:

• 1. Select a prime rib roast well marbleized with white or cream colored fat. (Follow these same directions for ANY size roast.) I choose a roast with at least 4 ribs or more. Also, I ask the butcher to remove the bones, put tie them back to the roast. This will make slicing so very easy!
• 2. Let meat stand at room temperature for at least one hour before cooking (longer is better). I leave it out on the counter for 4 hours. The goal is to get it to room temperature and let it stand at room temp (this aids in the cooking technique).
• 3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• 4. Rub meat with salt (if you have Lawry's seasoned salt, use it if not, regular salt also works); sprinkle with pepper.
• 5. Place meat on a rack fat side up in a shallow roasting pan. Make sure the sides of the pan are not too high. Maybe 2-3 inch sides or the meat will not brown properly. Also, make sure the roasting pan is only slightly bigger than the roast itself. This will allow the juices to accumulate and not evaporate! DO NOT COVER; DO NOT ADD WATER.
• 6. Put roast in oven; cook for just one hour at 375. It will crackle and get a beautiful layer or crust to it. After one hour, turn off heat, but DO NOT open oven door at any time until ready to serve. (You can do this step early on and let the oven cool down completely before turning on the oven again.)
• 7. Regardless of the length of time meat has been in the oven 30 - 40 minutes before serving, TURN OVEN ON again. Reset temperature to 375 degrees and set a timer for 30 minutes. Once the oven comes up to temperature (this may take up to 15 minutes), test the temperature of the meat. If not cooked to desire temperature, cook for the remaining 15 minutes or until desired temperature is reached. If your roast is a bit smaller, you can check the temperature around 20-25 minutes. You want around 120 degrees, because it will continue to cook as it rests (130 degrees for medium rare).
• 8. Now open the door; remove roast to serving platter.
• 9. Cover with foil, and let rest for 10-15 minutes. Save the pan drippings for Au Jus. You can also make Yorkshire puddings from the fat you reserve.
• 10. To Make the Au Jus Sauce, while the prime rib is resting, pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the pan. Place on the stove top over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring, to form a roux. Pour in the beef broth and whisk into the roux, scraping all the caramelized beef drippings from the bottom of the pan. Turn heat to high and cook the sauce for 10 minutes until it reduces and thickens slightly (this is not a gravy, so don't expect a thick, heavy sauce). Adjust seasoning, strain and serve alongside the prime rib.
• 11. The meat will be very brown and crisp on the outside. Carve into slices. You'll find it beautifully pink all the way through, juicily oozing the succulence which proves that the meat is a medium rare. NOTE: If you do not like medium rare meat, please do not make this roast! Prime rib should never be cooked to medium. It will end up like the bottom of your shoe! Leave the medium and well done meat for other cuts of your choice.
