Reply to comment by OkDance4335 in [homemade] prime rib and mashed potatoes by boogersforlunch

I don't know. Up here, you order a prime rib au juseven on the english side of the menu...point finale.

What would it be called in English anyway? Prime rib in thin meat gravy juice?

Just for the record, au jus is a more translucent, thinner sauce which looks something like beef broth, while gravy is usually thickened with a bouquet (French alert) and is opaque (omg, will the French words ever end?)
