Photo: Roast Prime Rib with Thyme Au Jus Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 bone-in prime rib (6 to 7 pounds)
- 8 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- Salt and coarsely ground black pepper
- 2 cups red wine
- 4 cups beef stock
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
Directions
Thirty minutes before roasting the prime rib, remove from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Make small slits all over the prime rib and fill each slit with a slice of the garlic. Season liberally with the salt and coarse pepper, place on a rack set inside a roasting pan and roast for about 2 hours until medium-rare, or until a thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 135 degrees F. Remove the meat to a platter, and tent with foil to keep warm.
Place the roasting pan on top of the stove over 2 burners set on high heat. Add the wine to the pan drippings in the pan and cook over high heat until reduced, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the stock and cook until reduced by half. Whisk in the thyme and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

A few tips I applied after reading other recipes. After washing your prime rib, wrap it with a paper towel, let it sit in the fridge for a few hours, and replace it when it absorbs the moistness. Let your meat sit until room temp so it evenly cooks. For max flavor, liberally salt and pepper it, and put garlic slivers throughout - you can really taste the garlic infused in the meat. I like my prime rib crusted so I added herbs to the outer layer.
My 7 lbs roast was cooked at 325 degrees for about 2 1/2 hours. Don't go by the hours, I strictly went by what my meat thermometer said. I took it out after internal temp reached 118 degrees because it keeps cooking after it comes out of the oven. After it rest, put it in the oven at 500 degrees until it crusts (about 8 mins. Don't worry about it cooking some more internally b/c it quickly just blast and crust the outside. Served with homemade mashed potatoes and was phenomenal!

Amazingly good. I've made this twice now. We have a good butcher shop nearby and I've gotten a couple of really nice prime ribs from them for this. One friend said it was the best meal he had ever had.

I have never prepared a prime rib and decided to try this recipe on New Years Eve for 22 of my closest friends. I purchased a 15 pound rib roast and followed the recipe to a tee. It turned out far better than I expected. It was perfectly cooked and everyone said the Au Jus was the best they had ever eaten. Can't wait to try it again with another group.
