How to Make a Perfect Prime Rib

prime rib roast

🥗Healthier: lean cuts of beef

💰Cheaper: chuck roast

Lean cuts are lower in fat; chuck roast is more budget-friendly.

Go to a restaurant wholesale supply store to buy prime rib.

Choose a standard choice grade prime rib instead of prime grade for better value.

Break down the rib sections yourself to get beef scraps for au jus.

Decide whether to use bone-in or boneless prime rib; bone-in is recommended for even cooking.

If using boneless, tie the meat with food grade string for even cooking.

Use a Boy Scout knot to tie the meat, ensuring an even shape.

Calculate the amount of meat needed: 3/4 pound per person for boneless, 1.5 pounds for bone-in.

Salt the prime rib liberally 24 to 48 hours before cooking to allow for dry brining.
