Ingredients
Prime Rib
6 lb prime rib, bone-in (bones cut off and tied back on)
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp kosher salt
1 tsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 tsp black pepper
1 medium yellow onion, quartered (optional – for au jus)
Red Wine Au Jus (Optional)
¼ cup pan drippings (fat separated)
2 cups beef broth
1½ cups red wine
Optional: 1 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot (slurry, for thickening)
Notes
Ask your butcher to cut and tie the bones—it makes carving easier.
Always cook by temperature, not time.
Use a fat separator for a cleaner au jus.
Watch carryover cooking during resting.
