My husband and little family go absolutely nuts every time this prime rib hits the table. There was this one Christmas where I barely had the chance to plate it before they were slicing off pieces like it was the last meal on Earth. It’s become a family staple, especially during holidays. I swear, one bite of this, and you’re instantly in the “I need comfy pants” zone. It’s the magic of food that brings everyone together, and boy, does this dish deliver.

How to Make It
Alright, so here we go. You get your prime rib, which might feel a little intimidating because it’s this massive hunk of meat staring you down. But don’t fret! Pat that beef dry like you’re trying to soak up spilled milk. Then, just rub it with a blend of kosher salt, pepper, and some fresh garlic—don’t be shy; the beef can handle it. Now, pop that bad boy in the oven, and the real trick is low and slow. Your house will start smelling like some fancy restaurant. It’s a beautiful thing when chaos turns into a culinary dream, kind of like when the kids go silent, and for once, it’s not because they’re up to something.
Ingredient Notes
– Kosher Salt: It’s like wrapping a warm blanket around your spice party. Needed to make flavors pop!
– Garlic: Never skimp. More is more here; makes all the difference.
– Black Pepper: Freshly cracked, please. Pre-ground can taste like dust from your grandma’s attic.
Recipe Steps
1. Preheat your oven to 500°F because, yes, we mean business.
2. Prep the rib by patting it dry and rub generously with kosher salt and cracked black pepper.
3. Mix garlic into a paste and slather it all over the meat like you’re painting a masterpiece.
4. Place rib on a roasting pan, bone side down.
5. Roast at 500°F for 15 minutes.
6. Reduce heat to 325°F and cook for about 2 more hours, or until it reads 125°F internal temperature (for medium-rare heaven).
What to Serve It With
Think creamy mashed potatoes or a crispy Caesar salad to try balancing out the richness. Just keep a blanket handy for napping afterward.
Tips & Mistakes
– Avoid cutting into it immediately. Let rest for about 20 minutes unless you enjoy a juicy mess.
– Pan juices are liquid gold—don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Storage Tips
Store that tasty leftover goodness in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat gently, or just enjoy it cold. Ain’t no shame in cold prime rib for breakfast. Builds character.
Variations and Substitutions
When the pantry looks bare, you can swap garlic with garlic powder. If you’re out of kosher salt, use sea salt without breaking a sweat. Oh, and need I mention how fabulous this is with a splash of Worcestershire sauce if you’re feeling adventurous?
