How to Make Beef Prime Rib Au Jus

  1. Between 9:00 am and 12:00 pm, generously salt and pepper the prime rib roast.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. Place the uncovered roast in the preheated oven and cook for 1 ½ hours.
  4. Turn the oven OFF. Do NOT open the oven door.
  5. Let the roast rest in the turned-off oven undisturbed. This is crucial for optimal results.
  6. One hour before serving, turn the oven back on to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Roast the meat for an additional 45 minutes (1 hour for a 10-pound roast).
  8. Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest on a cutting board, loosely tented with foil, for 20 minutes before carving.
  9. Meanwhile, bring the pan juices to a boil on the stovetop.
  10. Add 1 cup of consommé to the pan juices and heat through.
  11. Thicken the au jus to your desired consistency using Knorr velouté (or a similar instant thickener), following package directions.
  12. Serve the prime rib with the delicious au jus, and consider adding extra jus and prepared horseradish for an exquisite touch.
