Instructions

Place the pan drippings, beef broth, red wine, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, and pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Once it comes to a boil, turn it down to low heat and let it simmer until you are ready to serve it with your prime rib.
Taste for seasoning and add in more, if necessary. Transfer the au jus to a pitcher for easy serving.

Notes

Storage: Store your prime rib jus in an airtight container, such as a jar, in the refrigerator for up to three days.
: To freeze, bring it to room temperature. Then, transfer it to a freezer-safe container or jar, or pour it into an ice cube tray for easy future use. However, if you use a jar, leave a few inches at the top to accommodate any expansion, especially as a top layer forms over the sauce. You can then store it in the freezer until ready to use.
: When ready to thaw your leftover au jus, place it in the refrigerator overnight. Then, reheat it in the microwave or stovetop before using.
Yields: This recipe makes 2 cups plus a few tablespoons of au jus. It is ideal for serving with a 7-pound prime rib, which serves 8 people. The calorie information below is per cup.
Pan drippings: The pan drippings of our Reverse Seared Prime Rib recipe were about 3 tablespoons. We prefer not to strain it as we enjoy the bits and pieces coming from the bottom of the pan (thanks to a generous coating of our Prime Rib Seasoning), but if you prefer a clear au jus, feel free to strain the juices prior to adding to the pan.
Without wine: If you prefer to make this recipe using no wine, use an equal amount of beef broth instead.
Without drippings: If you do not have any drippings, simply omit them. It won't be as flavorful, but it will still be good.
Storage: Store your prime rib jus in an airtight container, such as a jar, in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Freeze: To freeze, bring it to room temperature. Then, transfer it to a freezer-safe container or jar, or pour it into an ice cube tray for easy future use. However, if you use a jar, leave a few inches at the top to accommodate any expansion, especially as a top layer forms over the sauce. You can then store it in the freezer until ready to use.
Thaw: When ready to thaw your leftover au jus, place it in the refrigerator overnight. Then, reheat it in the microwave or stovetop before using.
