Made this for the 2012 winter holidays and it appears on my food blog at this link: http://www.comfortcookadventures.com/2012/12/my-holiday-adventure-with-prime-rib.html
Ingredients
- Beef Broth
- Water
- Shallots
- Dried Rosemary
- Dried Thyme
- Garlic Powder
- Onion Powder
- Ground Black Pepper
- Coarse Sea Salt
- Olive Oil
- Prime Rib Roast
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400f line a roasting pan with aluminum foil
- Pour the beef broth and water inches place the shallot sections in the pan so that the prime rib will be located over them
- Spray the rack with nonstick spray and place into the pan
- Be careful not to tear the foil
- Mix together the rosemary, thyme, garlic and onion powders, black pepper and salt
- Brush olive oil over top of the prime rib
- Spread seasoning rub onto it
- Place the roast onto the center of the rack
- Make sure it it over the shallots
- Roast the beef for 45 minutes at the 400f temperature
- Turn the temperature down to 300f and roast to desired doneness
- Once you have the roast at the desired doneness, pull the entire pan out of the oven and let it all rest for 30 minutes
- This lets the juices from the roast redistribute back throughout itself
- Then place the roast on a cutting board and cut one inch slices
- Remove the shallots with a slotted spoon
- Pour all the remaining liquids and solids into a freezer safe plastic bowl
- Put the bowl into the freezer for 45 minutes
- The fat will rise to the surface, solidify and you can just remove it easily with a spoon
- Pour the fat free liquid through a strainer to remove any bits of missed solid fat or herbs
- Chop up the shallots finely and add them to the au jus, or leave in pieces and serve as a side to the beef
