Delectable Prime Rib au Jus

Recipe View Prepare the Roast: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (15 minutes) Trim any thick, hard pieces of fat from the roast, leaving smaller areas of fat intact for flavor and moisture.

Recipe View Create the Flavor Base: In a bowl, combine 2 cups of concentrated beef base with the minced garlic. In a separate bowl, mix together the chopped thyme, oregano, peppercorns, and salt. Generously rub the beef base mixture all over the roast, then sprinkle evenly with the herb mixture. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Roast to Perfection: Place the prepared roast into a roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven until a rich brown crust forms, approximately 3 hours. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast to monitor its internal temperature. For a medium-rare finish, aim for 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest while you prepare the au jus; the temperature will continue to rise 5 to 10 degrees F as it rests. (3 hours)

Recipe View Craft the Au Jus: In a saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk together the water and the remaining 1 tablespoon of concentrated beef base until the base is fully dissolved. Whisk in the red wine, thyme, oregano, and garlic powder. Add the coarsely chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced by about half, approximately 20 to 30 minutes. (30 minutes)

Recipe View Strain and Serve: Strain the au jus through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the vegetables, discarding the solids. Slice the prime rib and serve immediately, accompanied by the flavorful au jus.
