Perfect Prime Rib every time Tips

Here are some tips and tricks to help you perfect prime rib every time:

• Start with a high-quality cut of beef – Prime-grade beef is ideal for perfect prime rib.
• Preheat your oven to 500°F before inserting the prime rib into it.
• Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure your meat has reached the perfect temperature.
• Do not open the oven door during cooking, as this can cause drastic changes in temperature that will affect the outcome of your dish.
• Let your prime rib rest for 10 minutes after removing it from the oven before slicing it. This allows the juices to settle and redistribute throughout which makes for juicy, tender slices of perfect prime rib!

Is prime rib the same thing as ribeye?

While they are the same cut of meat, the differences are that prime rib usually has the bone and fat left intact, whereas steaks usually do not. The biggest difference is that they are cooked completely differently, too. The steak is cooked quickly, while the prime rib is cooked lower and slower.

How do I know how large a roast to purchase?

When purchasing a prime rib roast, you should consider how many people you are feeding. Account for about 1 pound per person for a meal that doesn’t have a lot of side items. And 1/2 pound for large feasts for holidays.

Is it true that prime rib is best when served medium rare? 

Yes, it’s going to have the best flavor and texture when it’s medium-rare. Test it with a meat thermometer, and it should be 130–135 degrees internally for the best results.

What is the best way to slice and serve my prime rib roast?

1. Allow the prime rib time to rest after it’s cooked. It needs to rest at least 10-15 minutes.
2. Slice close to the bone to release the meat from the bone.
3. Cut even slices in a long and smooth stroke, cutting across the grain and one serving at a time.

What are good side dishes to serve alongside prime rib at my dinner? 

• Baked Broccoli Mac and Cheese
• Roasted Green Beans and Potatoes
• Honey Ginger Carrots
• Brussel Sprouts with Bacon
• Plus, anything else you like!

What can you do with Prime Rib leftovers?

• Add to nachos
• Mix into chili
• Make quesadillas
• Add to soups
• Put into a salad
• Cook into tacos or enchiladas

The best way to store Prime Rib leftovers?

You’ll need to cool the meat and then wrap it up with a plastic wrap. You can refrigerate for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 6 months. Reheat before serving.
