Do you have anxiety over buying a prime rib and preparing it for your family or guests? Have you been a little intimidated about cooking a Prime Rib? We are here to help you out with a few secrets so that you can have a Perfect Prime Rib every time.
Well, I’m here today to give you an easy trick that makes cooking a Prime Rib perfect each and every time.
I found this Prime Rib recipe years ago and I have used it more times than I can count and it always comes out perfect every time.
It’s easy, so what more can you ask?
It’s easy, so what more can you ask?
My sweet Hubby loves Prime Rib, so this is my go-to meal for his birthday. And with this prime rib recipe and the right prime rib seasoning it easier than you would believe. We have made this perfect prime time and time again.
And it’s great for all of your favorite holidays like Christmas, Valentines Day, New Years or for a dinner party with your favorite friends.
At your local market, picking a well-marbled rib is not that hard, most cuts of prime rib are well marbled and if seasoned and prepared properly they will turn out delicious.
We always ask our butcher to cut the bone off the rib roast and then tie it back on. This way we get all the flavor of the bone-in rib roast but it makes carving so simple.
Prime Rib Seasoning is key and following these easy steps will take the anxiety out of preparing this gorgeous cut of meat.

You are making me hungry. I love prime rib too. Your's looks perfect. I use the same method for cooking mine too. We had it for Thanksgiving and I plan to do for Valentines!
We're not big beef eaters, but it is nice once in awhile 🙂 Pinning this to try!

Haha, AGAIN my father-in-law would love this…my mother-in-law too, and you know, it's her birthday tomorrow (70th!), but since we're sick we're delaying dinner for them until the weekend…We were going to treat them to a place by their house, but maybe this would be the better alternative (so we can visit longer) and I bet hubby would love to cook it! I'mma check these things out and see… 🙂

I've always been too afraid to cook a prime rib, but you make it seem so easy. I probably would have a tough time not opening the oven door though:) Thanks for sharing on Whatcha' Whipped Up!
You have made a gorgeous prime rib. Your crust is fantastic! I am no craving beef! Thanks for sharing on Thursdays Treasures
Oh my gosh, this looks amazing and perfect!! I have to try this. I have never cooked one, because I'm afraid I would mess it up. Thanks for the recipe and the tips. Thank you so much for sharing at A Bouquet of Talent. I hope you are having a wonderful week. 🙂

I've never had the nerve to try Prime Rib before though it is my husbands favorite. Perhaps with your tutorial I will be brave. Thanks for linking with me 🙂
Good idea to get a bit of help from the butcher to save time later. Looks delish. Thanks for sharing

Evelyn, Your prime rib recipe was featured at SHOW-licious Craft Showcase this week! Congratulations!
Marti
My goodness, that is one serious rolling pin cracking that pepper! And one seriously good recipe. Thanks so much for sharing on Busy Monday!
I've never made prime rib. Ever. Was always too intimidated–wouldn't want to screw up such a lovely hunk o meat. But I think I could do this–although not opening the oven door would be a challenge for me. I'm a peeker! Like your tip about the bone. Makes sense!
Thanks for linking up with See Ya in the Gumbo.
I have never had prime rib, but my mom in law really wants to do one this year for Christmas and I have been scouring the interwebs for good recipes. Yours looks fantastic and I've pinned it to keep for Christmas time. I chose you as my Eye Catcher for last week's Tasty Thursday link up. Thank you for sharing 🙂 http://fantasticalsharingofrecipes.blogspot.com/2013/01/tasty-treasures.html
