Delectable Prime Rib and Au Jus

"This particular recipe has brought me success both in personal and professional cooking. The recipe is written for a 10-pound loin, but, can be modified by size. It gives the prime rib a nice crust exploding with flavor, and an interior so tender, it'll (hopefully) leave you wanting more."
