Prime Rib Beef Dip Food

PRIME RIB AND GRAVY

Steps:

• Combine the salt, pepper, thyme, granulated garlic and mushroom powder in a small bowl. Mix well.
• Season the beef on all sides with the salt mixture. Wrap the beef in butcher paper and place in the refrigerator 12 hours, or up to 36 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Remove the roast from the refrigerator and pat dry with paper towels. Season the beef with the remaining salt mixture.
• Scatter the onions, rosemary and garlic in the center of the roasting pan and drizzle with oil. Put the meat bone-side down on top of the vegetables and place in the oven. Cook until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 110 to 115 degrees F, 3 to 3 1/2 hours (use an instant-read thermometer!!). Remove the meat to a rack and loosely cover with aluminum foil.
• Turn the oven to 500 degrees F. While the oven heats, place the roasting pan on the stovetop over medium heat. Drain any excess fat from the pan, if necessary. Add the beef stock to the pan and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Strain into a smaller saucepan and bring to a simmer.
• Combine the cornstarch and water and mix until smooth. Whisk the cornstarch mixture into the beef stock and return to a simmer. Whisk the butter into the sauce.
• Return the beef to the oven on a rack set over a roasting pan. Roast until well browned on all sides, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the meat from the oven and rest 10 minutes before slicing. To slice, remove the strings. Remove the meat from the rack of bones. Put the bones on the rack (with the rawer side up) in the roasting pan and cook until crispy on top, 4 to 5 minutes (watch carefully). Slice the meat into 1/2-inch slices. Pour the gravy into a serving vessel. Serve with the bones, if desired.

PRIME RIB DIP SANDWICHES

Steps:

• 1. For the jus: Season the beef bones with salt and pepper.
• 2. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add half of the bones and sear until golden brown on all sides, adjusting the heat as needed so the bottom of the pan doesn't burn, about 6 to 8 minutes total. Remove the bones to a large plate and repeat with the remaining bones.
• 3. Add the wine, scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, and simmer until the wine is reduced by half, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• 4. Return the bones and any accumulated juices on the plate to the pot. Add the broth, measured salt, and measured pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover with a tight fitting lid, and simmer until the jus has a deep beefy flavor, about 15 minutes. Uncover, increase the heat to medium, and simmer until the liquid is reduced to about 2 1/2 cups, about 10 minutes.
• 5. Remove and discard the bones. Set a fine-mesh strainer over a medium saucepan. Pour the jus through the strainer and discard the contents of the strainer. Let the jus sit until the fat rises to the surface, about 5 minutes. Using a spoon, skim off and discard the fat. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper as needed; keep warm over low heat.
• 6. For the sandwiches: Heat the oven to broil and arrange a rack in the middle.
• 7. Spread the butter on the cut sides of the rolls and season with salt and pepper. Place the rolls butter-side up on a baking sheet and broil until golden brown and toasted, about 2 minutes. Place the baking sheet on a wire rack.
• 8. Divide the roast beef into 6 portions. Using tongs, dip 1 portion into the warm jus and place on a roll. Repeat with the remaining portions of roast beef. Close each sandwich and slice in half.
• 9. Divide the remaining jus among 6 small bowls. Serve with the sandwiches and horseradish and sour cream, if using.
• 10. Note: You can combine the horseradish and sour cream together and spread on the buns, or you can spread a thin layer of each on the buns instead.

TWO PRIME RIB AU JUS RECIPES (CLASSIC BEEF AND RED WINE)

PRIME RIB BEEF DIP

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, mix together the Au Jus sauce, using all ingredients to taste. (I keep onion soup mix in an old spice jar to use as a seasoning) I start with 8 oz. of water, 2 teaspoons pepper, 1 tsp Worcestershire, 8 oz. Au Jus, 2 tsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp of onion soup mix and a dash of cayenne. Simmer.
• In a skillet, melt butter then combine chopped green peppers, onions and mushrooms with black pepper. Add soy sauce and Worcestershire. Sauté on medium heat until veggies are tender crisp.
• Slice the leftover prime rib so that it is at a 1/2 inch (or less) thickness, then set in the simmering Au Jus.
• Cut French bread diagonally, toast pieces in toaster.
• Spread french onion dip on both pieces (top and bottom).
• Layer on prime rib from Au Jus.
• Put sauteed mushroom, onion, green peppers on top of meat.
• Cover with pepper jack cheese.
• Broil sandwich open-faced for 2-3 minutes or until cheese is slightly golden.
• Serve with small bowl of Au Jus for dipping.

BEEF DIP

Steps:

• For the prime rib rub: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Mix the garlic, salt, pepper, granulated onion, thyme and rosemary together in a small bowl. Pour the Irish stout and 2 cups water into a large metal roasting pan fitted with a rack inside. Rub seasoning mix all over prime rib and place in the roasting pan fat-side up. Roast, uncovered, 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Cover roast with tin foil and roast until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145 degrees F for medium-rare, about 2 hours. Transfer to a cutting board, wrap in foil and let rest for 20 minutes before slicing. Save drippings in pan to make au jus.
• For the horseradish aioli: Place yolks, garlic, horseradish, lemon juice, Dijon and salt into a food processor. Process until smooth, then drizzle in olive oil until it reaches desired consistency.
• To make au jus, pour pan drippings into a small saucepan. Add black pepper and minced garlic to taste. Add water if more au jus is desired than what was left from roasting the meat. Bring to a simmer on stovetop, and simmer a few minutes.
• To make the sandwich: Soak a 1/3-pound slice prime rib in au jus briefly, then saute in a pan to warm, and top with two slices of white Cheddar. Served on a demi-baguette with 2 ounces of horseradish aioli, along with a side of au jus for dipping. Repeat with 5 more slices.

PRIME RIB

Steps:

• Liberally season the prime rib with the salt and some pepper and refrigerate overnight.
• An hour before cooking, remove the roast from the refrigerator to allow it to come to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the reserved ribs in a roasting pan bowed-side up (the ribs will be acting as the roasting rack). Scatter any fat and meat trimmings in the pan around the bones. Roast the bones and trimmings for about 30 minutes, or until the fat starts to render.
• Remove the pan from the oven, put the rosemary sprigs on top of the bones, then top with the prime rib. Put the smashed garlic in the bottom of the pan with the trimmings. Baste the beef with the fat drippings and return the pan to the oven.
• Cook for 30 minutes and then baste the roast again.
• Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and cook until the meat is medium rare (an internal temperature of 125 degrees F to 130 degrees F), about 1 hour, 15 minutes, basting the roast every 30 minutes until it is done. Keep in mind that the roast will continue to cook while resting.
• Remove the roast from the oven and put it on a cutting board to rest, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Slice the prime rib to the desired thickness and garnish with the arugula and olive oil.

PRIME RIB

Steps:

• Move the oven rack to the bottom and preheat the oven to 500 degrees F, then start with the seasoning: Grab the peppercorns and throw them in a big plastic bag and pound them with a rolling pin to break them open. Pull the leaves off the rosemary and thyme sprigs. Throw the crushed peppercorns into a bowl with the salt and herb leaves and add the minced garlic. Use your fingers to toss it all together, then set it aside.
• Place the beef, fat-side up, on a rack in a roasting pan. Drizzle the olive oil all over the surface and rub it in with your hands. Sprinkle the peppercorn-herb-salt mixture all over the surface of the beef, pressing it lightly with your hands.
• Roast the beef 45 minutes for the first stage. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F and insert a meat thermometer sideways into the roast. Roast the beef an additional 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, or until the thermometer registers 120 degrees F to 135 degrees F in the center for medium rare. (The meat will continue to cook for a bit after you remove it from the oven.)
• Remove the beef from the rack and let it rest about 15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat. When you're ready to serve, carve it into slices of your preferred width.
• Make the batter before removing the prime rib from the oven: Combine the eggs and half-and-half in a bowl and whisk until they're totally combined. Throw the flour and 2 teaspoons salt into a sifter and sift them straight into the bowl. Whisk until it's nice and smooth, then refrigerate until the prime rib is ready.
• After the beef is removed from the pan, increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F. Use a slotted spoon to remove the peppercorns, herbs and excess salt from the drippings. Pour the remaining drippings into a separate container. They should be speckled and lovely!
• Pour a small amount (about 1/2 teaspoon or so) of the drippings into each cup of a standard muffin pan and place the pan in the hot oven for a couple of minutes, or until just before the drippings begin to smoke.
• Carefully remove the pan from the oven and immediately fill the muffin cups about 1/2 to 2/3 full. Bake 13 to 14 minutes, or until they've "popped" about as much as they can pop. Serve them in a basket with a pretty napkin right next to the prime rib.

ROAST PRIME RIB OF BEEF

Steps:

• Have your butcher trim the short ribs from the roast. Place the meat in a dish and let it come to room temperature. Rub all sides with salt and pepper.
• Place the meat on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.
• Roast in a preheated 450 degree F oven for 25 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to 325 degree F and roast 2 hours longer for medium-rare. Transfer the roast to a heated platter.
• Cover loosely and let stand for 15 minutes before carving.
• For the Au Jus: Spoon off any excess fat from the roasting pan.
• Measure out 1/2 cup of the beef juices and reserve for the Yorkshire pudding.
• Pour the beef broth into the roasting pan.
• Bring to a simmer over moderately high heat, scraping up any brown bits clinging to the bottom and sides of the pan.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Strain the roasting juices into a heated sauce boat and serve with the roast.
