AMAZING!! Best prime rib I've ever had. First time I ever made au jus, I did put my own spin on it by adding cup of red wine, tsp of worcestershire sauce, a little beef stock into the roasting pan and reduced it. I strained it after it was reduced. It went perfect with the prime rib.

Perfect! Every time. Elegant. My husband always worries about letting it rest at room temperature for 1 hour before cooking and then in the oven for 3 hours with the oven off after cooking. Never complains about how wonderful it tastes afterwards, tho. Amazingly simple, delicious recipe!

PERFECT! I had never cooked one before and was apprehensive cooking it for a family gathering. I had an 11 lb roast and I didn't want to mess this up!
I followed the directions exactly and thought I would offer this for any first timers. I did use a meat thermometer which I had set @ 135. After the first hour, as I was turning off the oven, the temp had reached 110.. I was a little concerned as I knew it had 3+ hours to go. DONT PANIC!! Temp will gradually increase and then level off... and DON'T open the oven.. it got to be a joke after awhile because it smelled SO good and I just knew one of my boys would try to peek.
I served this with creamed spinach, roasted garlic potatoes and a greek salad. The Au jus I made using 3 cans of beef stock with S&P, sherry, simmered and reduced. After meat was finished cooking I added those juices to the stock.. It was yummy.
