So many of you asked for just how my mom prepared the prime rib for our special Thanksgiving dinner! And here is what the expert had to say! Frys sometimes has a really good deal on prime rib around the holidays and Costco always has it as well!

What is Prime Rib?

According to Wikipedia, A standing rib roast, also known as prime rib, is a cut of beef from the primal rib, one of the nine primal cuts of beef. In my opinion – it is a meal we have for holidays and extra special celebrations! Prime rib meat is tender, flavorful, cut of meat that is very high quality.

Why Is It Saved For Special Occasions?

In short — it’s expensive! It is a very nice cut of beef that often costs $15-$16/per lb. That isn’t necessarily in our weekly budget, but when you’re feeding a large group for a nice meal it is a very great option!

How Is It Served?

Prime rib is typically served medium rare. Of course, you can prepare it however you like, but I agree that it is best served medium rare. The photo above is exactly how my mom has prepared it my whole life!
