Method

Prime Rib Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Prime Rib

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Rub the prime rib roast with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Place the roast bone-side down in a roasting pan.

  2. 2

    Roast the Prime Rib

    Roast for 20 minutes at 450°F (230°C), then reduce the temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue roasting for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare. Remove from the oven and let it rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing.

Beef Au Jus Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Au Jus

    In a large saucepan, combine beef broth, red wine, sliced onion, minced garlic, thyme, bay leaves, and black peppercorns. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  2. 4

    Strain the Au Jus

    After simmering, strain the au jus through a fine mesh strainer, discarding the solids. Keep the au jus warm until ready to serve.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 5

    Prepare the Baguette

    Slice the noble baguette in half lengthwise. Spread mayonnaise on both halves.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Thinly slice the rested prime rib and layer it generously on the baguette. Top with the other half of the baguette.

  3. 7

    Serve with Au Jus

    Serve the sandwiches warm with a small bowl of beef au jus on the side for dipping.
