Prime Rib With Beef Gravy Recipes

CAST-IRON SKILLET PRIME RIB ROAST AND GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
• Rub beef roast with sea salt and black pepper. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat; sear roast on all sides in the hot skillet, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Turn roast so the ribs and fat side are facing up.
• Roast prime rib in the preheated oven for 45 minutes; scatter onion quarters around roast and continue cooking until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat reads 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for rare, about 2 more hours.
• Remove roast from skillet, wrap meat in aluminum foil, and let rest for 15 to 20 minutes to let juices reabsorb into the meat. Leave onion pieces in skillet.
• Pour drippings from skillet into a bowl and skim off excess grease. Return degreased drippings to skillet with onion pieces, place over medium heat, and melt butter in the drippings. Whisk flour into mixture to make a paste, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir red wine into flour paste until smooth. Mix beef stock into pan gravy until smooth; stir thyme sprigs into gravy.
• Reduce heat to low and simmer gravy until thickened, 5 to 8 minutes. Strain gravy, discard onion pieces and thyme, and serve with prime rib.

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.

ROAST PRIME RIBS OF BEEF WITH SHIITAKE PAN GRAVY

Steps:

• Let the rib roast stand at room temperature for 1 hour. In a small bowl knead together the rosemary, the salt, and 1/2 stick of the butter and rub the meat with the mixture. In a roasting pan roast the meat, ribs side down, in a preheated 500°F. oven for 30 minutes, reduce the heat to 350°F., and roast the meat for 1 3/4 to 2 hours more, or until a meat thermometer inserted in a fleshy section registers to 130°F. for medium-rare. Forty-five minutes before the roast is done add the onion and the bell pepper to the pan. During the last 40 minutes of roasting, in a bowl let the shiitake mushrooms soak in the water for 30 minutes, squeeze out the excess liquid, and reserve the soaking liquid in bowl. Discard the stems and slice the caps thin. Strain the reserved liquid through a fine sieve into another bowl. Transfer the roast to a heated platter, discarding the strings, transfer the onion and the bell pepper to paper towels to drain, and reserve them for the shiitake pan gravy. Let the roast stand for 20 to 30 minutes before carving.
• In a heavy skillet sauté the fresh mushrooms in the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons butter over moderately high heat, stirring, for 1 minute, add the shiitake mushrooms, and sauté the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the broth and the reserved mushroom liquid and boil the liquid until it is reduced to about 2 1/2 cups. Skim all but 1 tablespoon of the fat from the pan juices in the roasting pan, add the reserved onion and bell pepper and the Sherry, and sauté the mixture over moderately high heat, scraping up the brown bits, for 1 minute. Boil the Sherry mixture until it is reduced by half, strain it through the fine sieve into the mushroom mixture, and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir the arrowroot mixture and add it to the gravy, stirring. Simmer the gravy, stirring, for 3 minutes, add salt and pepper to taste, and transfer the gravy to a heated sauceboat.
• Serve the roast with the pan gravy.

PRIME RIB EYE STEAKS WITH SAVORY BEEF GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. In 8-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-low heat. Add garlic to oil; cook 5 to 7 minutes, tossing only once, until golden brown. Drain garlic through strainer (reserve oil to brush on steaks); cool. In small bowl, mash cooled garlic roughly with a fork into a chunky paste. Add thyme to garlic paste, mashing until well blended yet still chunky. Stir in mustard; set aside.
• Heat 12-inch skillet over high heat until hot. Season steaks with salt and pepper; drizzle both sides of steaks with reserved oil. Add steaks to hot skillet, browning on both sides until crust forms. Place on cookie sheet; spread garlic-mustard mixture over tops of steaks.
• In medium bowl, toss together bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Top steaks generously with bread crumb mixture, spreading to edges. Bake uncovered 25 to 35 minutes or until instant-read thermometer inserted in center reads 135°F for medium-rare or 150°F for medium (temperature will continue to rise about 10°F upon standing).
• Meanwhile, make beef gravy. In same 12-inch skillet, cook flour and butter over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly, just until a blonde roux forms. Stir in broth. Heat to boiling over high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring constantly, just until thickened.
• Allow steaks to rest a few minutes before slicing. Serve gravy over steaks. If desired, serve with mashed potatoes.
