Whether you are planning to serve a prime rib roast, or maybe smoked prime rib, these perfect side dishes use simple ingredients you can easily find at the grocery store.
What IS Prime Rib?
If you have never tried this special dish, Christmas is the perfect time to dive in! But what is prime rib?
Prime rib is a classic roast beef preparation, usually served as a main course, made from the beef rib primal cut. usually roasted with the bone in and served with a simple au jus (which is a pan sauce made from its natural juices). According to The Spruce Eats, the word “prime” is a legal designation that refers to the fact that the beef has been graded prime by the USDA. If the meat is not labeled as “prime” then it is simply a standing rib roast. Or, if it is boneless, it is a rib-eye roast.
Most agree the perfect prime rib is cooked to medium rare. And there are a bunch of ways you can cook it to achieve this. The best way for this main dish to be cooked perfectly is to let it come to room temperature before cooking. This can take a while for the center of the roast to come to room temperature as this is often a big, thick piece of beef. For best results, give it a few hours on your counter to come to room temperature.
How To Store Leftover Prime Rib?
As soon as dinner’s finished, it’s a good idea to wrap any leftover prime rib tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate or freeze. While it’s best the next day, leftover prime rib is good for between three and five days in the fridge. Or up to six months in the freezer.
While a prime rib dinner is definitely the main event at your holiday feast, you can’t go wrong with a perfect pairing of one of these Prime Rib side dishes. We promise!
