If thereās one cook that makes you feel like a certified backyard legend, itās prime rib. Juicy, rich, tender, beefyāand letās be honest, itās the kind of roast that makes everyone at the table think you went to culinary school in your spare time.
Around here, we keep it simple:Big flavor. Perfect crust. Melt-in-your-mouth center.Whether youāre team reverse sear, team hot ān fast (you little rebel), or you like the classic low-and-slow approach, prime rib is one of the most forgivingāand impressiveāholiday cooks you can do.
A few Big Poppa tips to get you in the groove:
- Season boldly. This is not the time to be shy. Think Big Poppaās Little Louieās with a layer of Cash Cow, Comp Brisket & Steak or Double Secret.
- Let it rest like royalty. At least 30ā45 minutes. Your patience will be rewarded.
- Use a thermometer. A $100+ roast deserves more than guesswork.
- Finish with a sear if you want that jaw-dropping crust.
- And because weāre all food voyeurs hereā¦š Drop your prime rib photos, questions, seasoning choices, and cooking methods in the comments! Reverse-seared? Smoke-kissed? Garlic-crusted? We want to see all of it.
