Best Roast Prime Rib With Madeira Sauce Recipes

SUNDAY RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Two hours before roasting, remove the meat from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (see Cook's Note).
• Place the oven rack on the second lowest position.
• Place the roast in a pan large enough to hold it comfortably, bone-side down, and spread the top thickly with the salt and pepper. Roast the meat for 45 minutes. Without removing the meat from the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F and roast for another 30 minutes. Finally, increase the temperature to 450 degrees F and roast for another 15 to 30 minutes, until the internal temperature of the meat is 125 degrees F. (Be sure the thermometer is exactly in the center of the roast.) The total cooking time will be between 1 1/2 and 1 3/4 hours. Meanwhile, make the sauce.
• Remove the roast from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Cover it tightly with aluminum foil and allow the meat to rest for 20 minutes. Carve and serve with the sauce.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, mustards, horseradish, sour cream, and salt in a small bowl.

ROAST PRIME RIB WITH MADEIRA SAUCE

Steps:

• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 450°F Place beef, fat side up, on heavy large rimmed baking sheet. Rub with oil; sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast beef 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F Place onions around beef. Continue to roast until thermometer inserted into center of beef registers 125°F for medium-rare, stirring onions occasionally, about 2 hours 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine broth, Madeira, wine, thyme, parsley, rosemary, and bay leaf in medium saucepan. Boil until mixture is reduced to 2 cups, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat. Discard herbs.
• Transfer beef to platter. Using slotted spoon, transfer onions to same platter; tent with foil. Let stand 30 minutes.
• Pour off and reserve fat from baking sheet for Herbed Yorkshire Puddings. Scrape juices and browned bits from baking sheet into sauce; bring to boil. Mix butter and flour in small bowl to blend. Whisk into sauce; simmer until smooth and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve beef with sauces.

STANDING RIB ROAST WITH MADEIRA AND STILTON SAUCE

Steps:

• Rub the roast all over with vodka. Rub in the salt and pepper. Cut small pockets in the fat and insert the bay leaves. Let roast sit at room temperature for 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place the beef in a roasting pan and roast 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to 325 degrees F and roast 12 to 15 more minutes per pound for rare to medium rare. When beef is cooked, let it sit in a warm place for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a saucepan caramelize shallots in 1 tablespoon of the butter and deglaze with Madeira in a saucepan over high heat until wine is reduced by half. Add stock and reduce again by half. Break butter into small pieces and whisk into sauce until completely smooth. Reduce heat to low, add Stilton and whisk until melted. Keep warm, but be careful not to overheat as sauce will separate.
• Carve the beef, serve the warm sauce with the beef, along with fresh horseradish and watercress.

ROAST PRIME RIBS OF BEEF WITH HERBED CRUST AND MADEIRA SAUCE

Steps:

• Let the rib roast stand at room temperature for 1 hour. In an electric spice or coffee grinder grind fine the peppercorns and the bay leaves in a small bowl combine well the butter, the flour, the white pepper, the salt and the bay leaf mixture, forming a paste, and rub the meat with the paste. In a roasting pan roast the meat, rib side down, in a preheated 500 degree oven, for 30 minutes, reduce the heat to 350 degrees and roast the meat for 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours more or until a meat thermometer inserted in a fleshy section registers 130 degrees for medium-rare. Forty minutes before the roast is done add the shallots and 30 minutes before the roast is done add the garlic. Transfer the roast to a heated platter and discard the strings if necessary. Transfer the shallots and garlic to paper towels to drain and keep them warm, covered loosely. Let the roast rest for at least 20 minutes and up tp 30 minutes before carving. Make the Sauce: Skim the fat from the pan drippings, reserving it for the Yorkshire pudding (recipe follows) add the red wine, and deglaze the pan over moderately high heat, scraping up the brown bits. Boil the liquid until it is reduced by half and transfer it to a saucepan. Add the broth and 1/4 cup of the maderia and boil the mixture for 5 minutes. In a small bowl dissolve the cornstarch in the remaining 4 teaspoons maderia and add the mixture to the pan in a steam, whisking. Bring the sauce to a boil, whisking, and boil it for 1 minute. Season the sauce with salt and pepper and transfer it to a heated sauceboat. Arrange the shallot, the garlic and the parsley around the roast and serve the roast with the sauce.
