Prime Rib With Beef Gravy 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

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.

• Measure out 1/2 cup of the beef juices and reserve for the Yorkshire pudding.
• Pour the beef broth into the roasting pan.

• Season with salt and pepper.
• Strain the roasting juices into a heated sauce boat and serve with the roast.

SLOW-ROASTED PRIME RIB OF BEEF

Steps:

• Take roast out of the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for about 2 hours to take off the chill. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Mash together the garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, and rosemary; rub seasoning into the roast. Place meat, fat side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.
• Place meat in the oven and roast approximately 45 minutes, until lightly browned. Open the oven and scatter the vegetables in the pan around the roast. Close the oven, then reduce temperature to 225 degrees. Bake approximately 2 1/2 hours for rare(140 degrees on a meat thermometer) or longer for more well done.
• When the meat is done to your satisfaction, take the roast out of the oven and place it on a carving board to rest for about 10 minutes before carving.
• Meanwhile, if enough juice has been rendered by the meat, prepare a natural gravy. Remove excess fat from the pan and place pan over low heat. Stir in suitable amount of water (1 to 2 cups) scraping to deglaze the bottom of the pan. Season with salt and pepper and a dash of Worcestershire sauce. Reduce gravy slightly, strain, and check seasonings. Serve warm with the roast beef.
