Prime Rib with Au Jus
This has come out perfect every time I have made it. You need to get your hands greasy on this one, but it's well worth it! It's succulent and savory - just what a prime rib should be! Pan juices from the roast can be added to the Au Jus at the last minute if need be.

Recipe Summary
Ingredients
Directions
Cook's Notes:
Substitute 4 cups beef broth for the 2 tablespoons beef broth base plus 4 cups water if desired.
Make sure you bake the roast at 500 degrees F (260 degrees C) for 5 minutes per pound. For example, if your roast is only 8 1/2-pound roast, that would be 42 1/2 minutes.
If making the roast ahead, set aside after baking at 500 degrees F (260 degrees C) until 50 minutes before you plan to serve it, at which point you can proceed with the second bake and rest.
