From Nita Holleman via Rae in Minnesota
Rib Roast with au Jus Sauce a La Nita
1 "2 or 3 rib" prime-rib beef roast (4 1/2 - 6 pounds)
5 or 6 cloves fresh garlic, crushed, peeled
Fresh or dried Rosemary, basil, thyme
Salt
Black pepper
2 Tablespoons Kitchen Bouquet Browning Sauce
Oil, butter or bacon drippings
2 carrots, scraped and cut in chunks
2 potatoes, peeled and cut in chunks
1 Vidalia or sweet type onion, peeled, cut in half
2 cups table quality Red wine
OR,
1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar, plus
1/4 cup Red Wine Vinegar, plus
1 1/2 cups table quality Red wine or, 1 Knorr beef
bouillon cube dissolved
in
1 1/2 cups hot water
2 Tablespoons Dark Brown sugar
1/4 to 1/2 cup beef drippings
2 additional Tablespoons Kitchen Bouquet Browning
Sauce
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Buy a prime, or top choice roast (preferably ribs 12
through 10.) Have the chine/backbone trimmed off.
[Your dog might appreciate these.] Rib bones look best
if shortened and "frenched" if it is possible to get a
butcher to do this. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. In
a small bowl combine herbs, rosemary, thyme, salt,
pepper, Kitchen Bouquet and oil to form a glaze or
paste. Smear mixture over roast. Poke garlic cloves in
various places in or under fat of roast. Place roast,
fat side up in center of oven on a rack in a large
roasting pan and roast for about 20 minutes at the
high
heat. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Lay a
piece of heavy duty foil loosely over the roast to
prevent overbrowning. Place vegetables in pan around
roast and drizzle them with drippings, butter or oil.
Cook beef for approximately 12 minutes per pound for
medium-rare. Check the temperature of the roast deep
in the center of the roast or in several places with a
meat thermometer. It should register 120 to 125
degrees F. for medium rare. Remove roast and allow to
"rest" for 20 minutes to prevent loosing juices when
it is carved.
Note: The temperature inside the roast will continue
rising about 10 degrees. Remove vegetables and set
them aside. Pour pan drippings and juices off and
separate the fat and juices with a fat separator if
you
have one so you can use the broth for the "au jus" and
save the fat for Yorkshire pudding or another use.
Place the roasting pan over medium-high heat. Add the
wine or other liquids and scrape up the brown bits
from the bottom of the pan. Add sugar, beef drippings,
Kitchen Bouquet, reserved vegetables and parsley.
Season with salt and black pepper. Cook until wine
is reduced about 50%, or about 5 minutes. Strain sauce
through cheesecloth or a strainer to remove solids
before serving.
This sauce is the "au jus" you want to serve HOT with
the sliced beef either on it or as a "dipping sauce."
Nita's Note: 1 or 2 Tablespoons Arrowroot dissolved in
1 or 2 Tablespoons cold water added to the sauce will
thicken somewhat and enrich the sauce. Do NOT boil
sauce after adding the Arrowroot.
Serves 4 to 7 depending on size of roast
