Herb-Crusted Prime Rib with Red Wine Au Jus
The ultimate centerpiece for a spectacular Christmas feast begins with a beautifully marbled prime rib. This show-stopping roast is generously coated in a fragrant paste of fresh rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, cracked black pepper, and coarse sea salt, mixed with a touch of olive oil to hold it all together. Seared at a high temperature to lock in the rich juices, and then slow-roasted to a perfect medium-rare, the meat becomes incredibly tender and flavorful. As the roast rests, the pan drippings are deglazed with a bold Cabernet Sauvignon, beef stock, and a touch of butter to create a silky, deeply savory au jus. Slice this masterpiece tableside to reveal a beautiful rosy center that promises to make your holiday dinner unforgettable.
