  • 1 (3.5-oz) package fruit and nut mix
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese

Rib Roast with Onion Au Jus
Ingredients
  • 2 medium sweet onions
  • 8 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons pepper
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1 standing rib roast (4–5 lb)
  • 1 ½ cups reduced-sodium beef broth (or stock)
  • 1 cup red wine (or beef broth)
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Steps
    1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Slice onions thinly (about 2 cups); chop garlic finely. Combine salt, pepper, and thyme; coat roast evenly with seasoning on all sides. Arrange onions and garlic in bottom of roasting pan, then place roast over onion mixture; bake 20 minutes or until browned.
    2. Reduce oven to 350°F; continue baking 1–1 ½ hours until roast is 125°F (for medium rare; warm red center), 130°F (for medium; warm pink center), or up to 170°F (for well done). Transfer roast to cutting board and let stand 10–15 minutes before slicing; temperature will rise 5–10°F during this time.
    3. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 3 minutes. Transfer onion mixture to pan; cook 8–10 minutes until browned. Pour in broth, wine, and Worcestershire sauce and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 5 minutes.
    4. Meanwhile, slice roast. Serve roast with onion au jus.
    NOTE: The doneness temperatures for medium rare and medium stated above are traditional temperatures used for cooking beef, but are not recommended by the USDA. To maintain food safety, the USDA recommends an internal temperature of 145°F, as measured using a food thermometer, with a 3-minute rest time before carving.
Serving Suggestions
  • Complete your meal with steamed vegetables, potato rolls, and pumpkin pie for dessert.
  • It's important to let the roast rest before slicing so it reabsorbs the juices and stays moist and flavorful.
