Roast Prime Rib with Thyme Au Jus

December 30, 2013 By Lokness 12 Comments

New year is almost here. To start off a fantastic year, it would be nice to make a feast for your family and friends. Prime rib would be the one. A juicy and tender piece of meat will sure impress your loved ones.

Making prime rib is not as intimating as it sounds. In fact, it is very easy to make and doesn’t require much skills as long as you have an instant meat thermometer to monitor the doneness of the meat. I have made this prime rib this year and last year. Both came out perfectly. No matter you are a super meat lover or not, you will sure fall in love with this dish.

Thanks for the sweet and kind supports this year. I look forward to bringing more excellent recipes to your all next year. Happy New Year!!! Have a wonderful 2014!

Roast Prime Rib with Thyme Au Jus (Adapted from Bobby Flay vs. Foodnetwork.com)

4 servings

Ingredients:

–   1 bone-in prime rib (about 3.5 pounds)

–   3 cloves garlic (thinly sliced)

–   salt

–   coarsely ground black pepper

Thyme Au Jus:

–   1 cup red wine

–   2 cups low-sodium beef broth

–   ½ tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (chopped)

Directions:

  1. Take the prime rib out of the fridge 30 minutes before roasting and let it come to room temperature.
  2. Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
  3. Pat the prime rib dry with paper towels. To separate the meat from the bone, use with a sharp knife and cut by following the line of the bones. Make small slits all over the prime rib and fill each slit with a garlic slice. Place the meat back on the bones just like it was never separated. Tie together with kitchen twine.
  4. Season generously with salt and coarse pepper. Place the prime rib bone-side down in roasting pan. If you have a rack, use it. If not, the bone can act as a rack itself. Roast in the oven until medium-rare or 135˚F in the center of the meat, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove the meat to a platter or clean cutting board. Cover with aluminum foil. Set aside.
  5. Place the roasting pan on the stove over high heat. Add the wine and scrape the brown bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook and reduce for 3 minutes. Add the beef broth and cook until reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Whisk in the thyme. Season with salt and pepper to your own taste.
  6. Remove the twine. Slice the prime rib and serve immediately with the au jus.

Tips:

  1. Tips for buying prime rib: 1 bone is a good amount for 2 people. So for us 3, I bought 2 bones. That was more than enough for the 3 of us and we had some leftover.
  2. Tips for cooking prime rib: You can use the same recipe for large piece of prime rib. Roast each pound for about 20 minutes.
  3. I didn’t spend the money for prime meat. I used choice meat. It was still very tender and soft. (If you do not live in the US, you probably won’t understand what I am talking about. United States Department of Agriculture gives different grading to beef. There are prime, choice and select. Prime is the best with lots of marbling, and select is not as tender and juicy. To understand more, go to this site.)
  4. I got my rib from Bistol Farms. The meat and bone was already separated and tied back together, so that made it easy for me.
  5. Don’t be shy with the seasoning on the meat. That would be the only time for seasoning on such a big piece of meat.
  6. I don’t have a roasting pan, so I used a large oven-safe pan with high sides. It worked perfectly.
  7. I highly recommend using a thermometer. It will ensure the meat was cook just right. 10 minutes cooking time can make a huge difference.
  8. Leftover meat would be perfect for sandwiches.

    I have always wanted to make prime rib but it really is an intimidating thing and I always think I’ll mess it up and waste a ton of money! You make it sound easy and the tips are excellent. Have a wonderful 2014!

      I totally understand how you feel. I felt the same before too. This recipe sure changed my mind. I think this is much easier than roasting a turkey. Hope you will give this a try some day. Happy New Year!

      Haha! I am sure your husband will be thrilled if you make this for him one day. If you worry about spending too much on the 1st try, you should go with the choice rib. My choice rib from Bistol Farms were super tender and juicy.

Bryan & I have been dreaming about these chicken t Bryan & I have been dreaming about these chicken tenders from Sesame Grill @sesamegrill_626 for a few days. These tenders are unlike any we had before. Crunchy crust, yet delicate & not too heavy. The meat is super juicy & soft. Very simple food, but really well executed! Sesame Grill was original a fine dining restaurant, they redid their menu because of the pandemic & started to sell tenders only. And that got really popular! Incredible story & hope they’ll continue do well. If you’re ever in the area, definitely check them out.

Since I didn’t live close to a Chinese restaurant for a long time, I have been making my own for years. This week, I finally reshot the photos & gave a quick update for the recipe. Juicy & tender pork coated in a slightly sweet BBQ sauce, then top them over some hot steamed rice with a sweet soy sauce. Every bite is so satisfying!

Almost every year, I make holiday treats for famil Almost every year, I make holiday treats for families, friends & Bryan’s coworkers. (Except last year, because we just moved to Northern California.)🎁 Year after year, I was told that their favorites are the marshmallows! 
.
Homemade marshmallows are really something special. Soft & pillowy, and they’re usually less sweet & flavored. I have 3 flavored marshmallow recipes on the blog, chocolate, raspberry & orange. Chocolate is no doubt the most popular. If you prefer something fruity, raspberry is the one to go. If you’re looking for something unique, definitely try the orange. 
.
Don’t ask me to pick a favorite, because I do love them all. Another plus about marshmallows is that they last for at least 2 weeks (likely longer), so you have plenty of time to give them out to friends or finish them yourself!

Try this Sous Vide Ribeye Steak with Herb Butter.🥩 No overcooking & perfect every time. Since the majority of the cooking is done in a water bath, you only need a quick sear on a skillet at the very end. A lot less smoke & no screaming smoke alarms!
