Red Wine Jus Recipes

RED WINE JUS

Steps:

• Put the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat and fry the shallots until golden and caramelised, about 10 mins.
• Add the port, wine and herbs and simmer for 10 mins, or until reduced by half.
• Pour in the stock and continue to cook until reduced by half again, then strain, discarding the shallots and herbs.
• Transfer the sauce into a new pan and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter, then season to taste.

PRIME RIB ROAST WITH RED WINE AU JUS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Season the prime rib roast liberally with salt and pepper, then place it on a rack set inside a roasting pan and roast for 30 minutes. Turn down the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast reads 130 degrees F for medium-rare, about 1 1/2 hours. Transfer the meat to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm.
• Place the roasting pan on top of the stove. Turn 2 burners to high heat, add the butter to the pan and use a wooden spoon to stir and scrape the bottom of the pan. Add the beef stock and red wine and cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 20 minutes. Whisk in the rosemary and season with salt and pepper.
• Slice the meat between the bones into individual steaks and serve each with the red wine au jus.

RED WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Pour the fat out of the pan you cooked your steaks in, but don't clean it. Place the pan back on the heat with half the butter and the shallots and sizzle for 2 mins to soften. Stir in the flour and cook to a sandy paste, then splash in the vinegar and simmer for a moment. Pour in the wine and stir, scraping any sticky bits off the bottom of the pan. Bring to the boil and bubble for a minute, then whisk in the mustard and then the stock.
• Boil the sauce down to about 200ml in total, then taste and season. Whisk in the remaining butter and the parsley, plus any resting juices from the steaks. Serve the steaks on warm plates and spoon the sauce over the top.
