How To Cook the Perfect Prime Rib Roast

2015! Yeah, yeah. I'm a little overdue with a post. The holidays had it busy moments and wonderfully-filled with oodles of #CJuliaChristopher time. It was perfect. The new year crept up on us, CJ and I got back to work mode and looking at the calendar, it's already mid-January. Time. Flies. Too. Fast.

I've been doing a ton of cooking the past several weeks, which means lots of recipes to post!

For Christmas Eve, I had my family come over for a prime rib dinner. That's right. Prime rib. I was so nervous before and during the cooking. It's an expensive piece of meat and it's the main star of the meal, so if I messed this up, everyone was going to be eating a lot of sides. I bought the most expensive meat thermometer (the wireless kind) and guess what? It decided to break! No worries though, because no snafu was going to mess up this dinner I had planned two weeks ahead for. With a little bit of luck and great timing, the prime rib roast turned out delicioso. That's Spanish for delicious, in case you're wondering.

I found a pin on Pinterest that basically turned out to be the bible for prime rib roasting. From choosing the right meat to carving directions, it had every bit of information needed to succeed.

Normally, I include the cooking instructions in my posts, however, there is so much information, I can not pick and choose. I highly suggest reading the entire thing. I followed the directions exactly and I got great results. A friend made this without bringing the meat to room temperature and hers turned out well, so I think you may be able to skip that step.

 

GOOD LUCK and HAPPY COOKING!

 

Oh, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
