Planning on cooking up a whole prime rib on FEPG500 this weekend to feast on over XMAS. This'll be the first one I've done and though I'm good on prep and cooking method I'd like to get some advise on how to whip up some exceptional aus-jus. Any help?
 
....Roast 2 heads of garlic.

Mash garlic with

2 tbsp diced fresh rosemary
2 tbsp fresh thyme
2 tsp salt
2 tsp ground pepper


Smear all over the prime rib.

Ideally, you collect the drippings to make au-jus, may be tough on a grill.

Beef bullion is a must with or without the drippings, a packet of onion soup mix (dry) can be awesome too. Black pepper, possibly mushrooms, thyme and rosemary (which you get in the drippings)

Aujus is the easy part

Cool, thanks Cheezy. I'm using a foil pan for that purpose so drippings will be collected.

Either skip the rack and lay the roast directly in the pan with mirepoix (so you can scrape up the brown bits after cooking, deglaze with wine, add some hot beef stock, reduce by half and season to taste, then mount with butter off heat).

Or...

Make a separate jus using separate cubes of beef or oxtail shins (as seen in second recipe).
 
Turned out great, best PR I've ever had in my life...
