Roast Prime Rib of Beef with a Rich Pan Sauce

Ingredients:

12 lb prime rib roast
2 tablespoons Paula Deen House Seasoning

For Pan Sauce:
2 cups beef stock or canned broth
Sprig of fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme
2 tablespoons Paula Deen Merlot Wine Steak Sauce
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Rub the roast with the Paula Deen House Seasoning. In a roasting pan, place the roast, fat side up, so the ribs act as a rack. Roast for 30 minutes and reduce heat to 350 degrees. Continue to roast for 2 hours or until the internal temperature on a meat thermometer registers your desired doneness. Transfer to platter and let rest for 15 minutes.

While roast is resting, prepare pan sauce. Skim off the fat from the pan drippings. place the roasting pan over medium heat and add the stock and thyme. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.

Whisk in the Paula Deen Merlot Wine Steak Sauce. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm alongside the prime rib roast.
