Standing Rib Roast With Madeira Sauce And Herbed Yorkshire Puddings Recipes

STANDING RIB ROAST (PRIME RIB) WITH YORKSHIRE PUDDING

Steps:

• Season meat and bones of rib roast with salt. Rub mustard all over meat and sprinkle with rosemary and pepper. Place roast, rib-side down on a baking sheet. Transfer to refrigerator uncovered or loosely covered for 1 to 3 days; remove roast from refrigerator 3 hours prior to roasting.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees with a rack set in the bottom third.
• Place roast rib-side down in a roasting pan just large enough to fit the roast (about 12 by 14 inches). Transfer roast to oven and position pan so that the bone ends are facing the oven door. Roast until outside begins to brown and sizzle, about 20 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 325. Do not open oven. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast reaches 110 to 115 for rare, 120 degrees for medium-rare, and 125 degrees for medium, about 1 1/2 hours. If meat has not reached desired degree of doneness, cook 10 to 15 minutes more. Once roast reaches 95 degrees, the temperature should rise 8 to 10 degrees more for every additional 10 minutes cooked.
• Transfer roast to a carving board; let stand 25 to 40 minutes, loosely covered if desired. If you plan to make Yorkshire pudding, pour beef drippings into a glass measuring cup and set aside, along with the hot roasting pan. Cut strings and remove bones. Slice meat across the grain into 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick slices and transfer to a warm serving platter. Pour any drippings from carving over meat and serve.

HERBED YORKSHIRE PUDDINGS

Steps:

• Whisk eggs in medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in milk. Sift flour and salt into egg mixture; whisk until well blended and smooth. Whisk in all herbs. Let batter stand at room temperature at least 30 minutes or refrigerate up to 3 hours. Rewhisk before using.
• Preheat oven to 450°F. Place 16 standard (1/3 cup) metal muffin cups in oven to preheat 10 minutes. Place 1 teaspoon drippings from rib roast in each muffin cup. Return pan to oven until drippings are very hot, about 8 minutes. Immediately spoon 2 generous tablespoonfuls batter atop hot drippings in each muffin cup. Bake until puddings are golden and puffy, about 12 minutes (puddings will sink in center but edges will stay puffy). Serve hot.

BEEF RIB ROAST WITH YORKSHIRE PUDDING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. For easy cleanup, line shallow roasting pan with foil. In pan, place beef, fat side up; sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in center of the thickest part of beef and does not rest in fat or touch bone. (Do not add water.)
• For medium-rare, bake 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes or until thermometer reads 135°F. Remove beef from pan onto carving board. Cover beef loosely with foil and let stand 15 to 20 minutes until thermometer reads 145°F. (Temperature will continue to rise about 10°F, and beef will be easier to carve.) For medium, bake uncovered 2 hours 15 minutes to 2 hours 45 minutes or until thermometer reads 150°F. Cover beef loosely with foil and let stand 15 to 20 minutes or until thermometer reads 160°F.
• While beef is standing, make Yorkshire Pudding. Measure pan drippings, adding enough oil to drippings, if necessary, to measure 1/4 cup. Place hot drippings in 9-inch square pan; place pan in oven and heat until hot. Increase oven temperature to 450°F. In medium bowl, beat flour, milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the eggs with wire whisk just until smooth. Pour batter into pan of drippings and oil. Bake 18 to 23 minutes or puffy and golden brown (pudding will puff during baking but will deflate shortly after being removed from oven). Cut pudding into squares; serve immediately with beef.

STANDING RIB ROAST WITH HORSERADISH SAUCE AND YORKSHIRE PUDDING

Steps:

• Sprinkle roast with pepper, herbs, onions and garlic. Place fat side up on a rack set into a roasting pan. Roast in a preheated 350°F oven for 2 hours or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 150°F for medium, rare. Pour off fatty part of the drippings from roasting pan and use for pudding and sauce. Keep roast warm.
• For the pudding; turn oven to 425°F In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Add eggs and milk, beat with electric mixer until well blended. Pour 1/2 cup beef drippings or melted butter into a 9 x 13 x 2 inch pan; tilt pan to cover bottom evenly. Pour batter into pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then lower temperature to 325°F for 30 minutes. Bake until puffed and brown. Cut into squares to serve. For individual servings, divide batter between 8 greased custard cups or popover pan. Bake the same length of time.
• While pudding is baking, prepare sauce. In a 1 1/2 quart saucepan, heat drippings and stir in flour. Stir over low heat for 10 minutes. Gradually add beef broth and half and half. Stir over medium heat until sauce bubbles and thickens. Stir in horseradish and salt and pepper to taste.
• Place roast on platter and garnish with sautéed onions and cherry tomatoes. Can also be garnished with long needled pin boughs and red onion flowers. To prepare onion flowers, peel small red onions. Starting at the pointed end, cut onions into quarters, cutting to within 1/2 inch of the bottom. Cut each quarter into 1/8 inch wide strips to within 1/2 inch of the bottom. Place in cold water and onions will open to resemble chrysanthemums. Serve pudding separately and pass sauce. Makes 8 servings.
