Rib Roast With Madeira Gravy Recipes

STANDING RIB ROAST WITH MADEIRA AND STILTON SAUCE

Steps:

• Rub the roast all over with vodka. Rub in the salt and pepper. Cut small pockets in the fat and insert the bay leaves. Let roast sit at room temperature for 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place the beef in a roasting pan and roast 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to 325 degrees F and roast 12 to 15 more minutes per pound for rare to medium rare. When beef is cooked, let it sit in a warm place for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a saucepan caramelize shallots in 1 tablespoon of the butter and deglaze with Madeira in a saucepan over high heat until wine is reduced by half. Add stock and reduce again by half. Break butter into small pieces and whisk into sauce until completely smooth. Reduce heat to low, add Stilton and whisk until melted. Keep warm, but be careful not to overheat as sauce will separate.
• Carve the beef, serve the warm sauce with the beef, along with fresh horseradish and watercress.

SUNDAY RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Two hours before roasting, remove the meat from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (see Cook's Note).
• Place the oven rack on the second lowest position.
• Place the roast in a pan large enough to hold it comfortably, bone-side down, and spread the top thickly with the salt and pepper. Roast the meat for 45 minutes. Without removing the meat from the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F and roast for another 30 minutes. Finally, increase the temperature to 450 degrees F and roast for another 15 to 30 minutes, until the internal temperature of the meat is 125 degrees F. (Be sure the thermometer is exactly in the center of the roast.) The total cooking time will be between 1 1/2 and 1 3/4 hours. Meanwhile, make the sauce.
• Remove the roast from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Cover it tightly with aluminum foil and allow the meat to rest for 20 minutes. Carve and serve with the sauce.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, mustards, horseradish, sour cream, and salt in a small bowl.

PRIME RIB WITH BEEF GRAVY

Steps:

• For the prime rib: Use the tip of a knife to make slits in the fat of the prime rib and stuff with slices of garlic. In a small bowl, mix the salt and pepper. Create a crust of salt and pepper all over the meat. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Put the prime rib on a rack in a roasting pan.
• Roast the meat for 10 minutes at this temperature, then turn the oven down to 350 degrees F. Roast until the meat registers 120 degrees F on an internal meat thermometer for a medium-rare roast, 1 hour 30 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes (about 15 minutes per pound). Remove the meat to a cutting board, loosely tent with foil and let stand 20 minutes.
• For the gravy: In the meantime, pour off most of the fat from the roasting pan, leaving about 1/4 cup. Put the roasting pan on top of the stove over medium heat. Whisk the flour into the fat and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Vigorously whisk in the beef stock and mustard. Add the thyme, rosemary and garlic. Bring to a low boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook, whisking, until the mixture begins to thicken. Add the sherry vinegar and cook 1 more minute. Transfer to a serving dish.
• Remove the ties from the prime rib. Slice the prime rib and bones and serve with the gravy.

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.

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.
