The Prime Rib (and other beef) Thread

Gotcha. I will pick one up Wednesday or Thursday. Thanks everyone.

Next question: preferred seasoning. Sounds like a lot of you just go with salt and pepper. Anyone recommend something more exotic?

I usually salt the meat for several hours, so it gets absorbed then add a combination of herbs (rosemary, thyme, marjoram), minced garlic, pepper, mustard (I use powder, but you can also use Dijon) and olive oil. With the bone-in I use a knife to create a space between the meat and bone and fill it with the herb mixture in addition to covering the top side of the roast.

As others have stated, the bone-in is my preference as well. I unwrap mine from the store packaging and re-wrap tightly in saran-wrap. I've had no problem keeping it in the fridge for several days, up to a week. I'll probably swing by Costco on Wednesday to pick one up for Sunday. Throw in some roasted brussel sprouts and garlic mashed potatoes and Voila!!! - Christmas dinner.

Bone In

[happyone]

How long do they keep? Is it best to buy one now, or wait a few days?

Also, they sell both "ribeye roast" and "bone-in prime rib roast". Isn't that essentially the same thing, with and without the bone? Anyone have preferences one way or the other?

(sorry for the dumb questions - first time doing prime rib)

same cut of meat - I prefer bone in for any cut of meat I am roasting. I think it gives it a better flavor, but that is just me.
