Prime Rib Beef Roast

Store raw prime rib tightly wrapped in the refrigerator. For longer storage, wrap well to prevent freezer burn.

Allow the roast to come to room temperature for about 1-2 hours before cooking for more even results.

Use a meat thermometer to ensure the perfect internal temperature. Aim for 120-125°F (49-52°C) for rare, 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare.

Let the roast rest for at least 15-20 minutes after cooking before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and moist roast.

Mashed potatoes

Roasted root vegetables (carrots, parsnips, potatoes)

Yorkshire pudding

Asparagus or green beans

Red wine gravy or au jus

Cooking a cold roast directly from the refrigerator, leading to uneven cooking.
