whole smoked prime rib

Smoked Au Jus

Smoked Au Jus

This smoked au jus will take your whole smoked ribeye (prime rib) to another level. I take the bones from a whole ribeye and smoke them with some of my TX seasoning on the outside to form a bark. The ribs go on the pit at 275° using post oak wood for smoke flavor. Once the bark is set (about 1.5 hrs), transfer the ribs to a large aluminum pan and add onions, garlic, and rosemary for extra flavor along with beef broth and a little beef concentrate for the liquid. Cover the pan with foil and keep cooking until the meat breaks down and the fat renders. Then strain the liquid and reduce it on the stove over medium high heat for 15-20 minutes to concentrate the flavor. It’s a simple au jus that has a ton of flavor; it’s excellent served along with my sliced whole smoked ribeye. Just slice the ribeye thick and dip it in the warm au jus. The meat will melt in your mouth! Print
