Have you been a little intiminated 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.  
Perfect Prime Rib
Do you have anxiety over buying a prime rib and preparing it for your family or guests?
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?
 My sweet Hubby loves Prime Rib, so this is my go-to meal for his birthday.

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.

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.

Perfect Prime Rib


Seasonings are key and following these easy steps will take the anxiety out of preparing this gorgeous cut of meat.

  10. 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… 🙂

  39. 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!

  50. 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.
