This is a Perfect Prime Rib Cheat!   We have all you need for a perfect prime rib EVERY single time. Let’s make that prime rib sizzle!  Any prime rib fans out there? 

 

How to have a Perfect Prime Rib:

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.
 

What’s in this Prime Rib Rub Recipe:

Ingredients for the rub:

for a 3 pound Standing Rib Roast (allow for about 1/2 pound per person)

  • 3  cloves garlic, minced
  • 3  Tablespoons Cracked Black Pepper
  • 2  Tablespoons Kosher Salt

  1. We love Prime Rib at our house too, Evelyn. Have one in the freezer now, so hope to be trying your Perfect Prime Rib way sooner then later. Thank you.

  2. 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!

    Thanks SO much for your help Evelyn! The prime rib was sooooooo goooooood! Having the butcher cut the bone off and add it back on it a GREAT idea!

  4. 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… 🙂

    You always have such hearty and delicious dishes. I wish I could move into your house at least for a week to get some of your meals!
    Thank you so much for sharing this recipe

  6. I only cook Prime Rib once in a while, but this looks delicious Evelyn. I am pinning it and will be giving it a try for sure! Thanks for sharing

  7. 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!
