Ingredients

  • Prime Rib drippings
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup beef broth Any broth or water will work.
  • 1/2 cup red wine I use dry, typically Cabernet Sauvignon.

Instructions

  • If you cooked your meat with fresh herbs, remove the cooked herbs and any large pieces of fat or other chunks of food from the drippings.
  • Heat the drippings in a pan on the stove at medium heat. I use the same cast iron skillet I cooked the prime rib in.
  • Add in the flour and stir. Continuously stir the mixture to avoid clumping until the flour is incorporated.
  • Reduce the meat to medium-low. Pour in the broth and wine. Stir and continue to cook for several minutes until the sauce thickens. Strain the mixture using a mesh strainer or cheesecloth if desired.
    Taste repeatedly to ensure the sauce meets your taste. Add salt, pepper, or other spices as needed.
  • Serve.

Notes

If you don't want to add wine you can omit it without the need to substitute anything.
