Prime Rib is not only a crowd pleaser with those who enjoy beef but it’s probably one of the simplest roasts to prepare. Many people don’t realize just how easy they are to make.

Enter.The.Prime.Rib.Roast

I have to say it ended up being the star of the day and we all every much enjoyed our dinner. Yummyyyy. One of my girlfriends – who admits this is her all-time favorite way to eat beef – asked for the recipe that night so I thought I would share it with all of you too.

• A 5 lb Prime Rib Roast
• 1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 3-4 Tbsp of a course Beef Rub (salt, peppercorns, paprika, & other spices you like)

How it looks before it goes into the oven…

• Take the roast out of the fridge & allow it to get to room temp (20-30 minutes)
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Place in roasting pan & cover thoroughly with olive oil
• Rub the beef rub mixture into all sides of the roast
• Allow to sit in the seasoning for another 15-20 minutes before placing in oven
• Then, roast in oven for 17-20 minutes per pound ( to achieve medium doneness)
• Remove from oven when done cooking and allow to rest for 10-15 min
• Slice and serve

For our gathering, we decided to plate up the prime rib with roasted fingerling potatoes, mashed butternut squash and a side of green beans. It was the perfect combination and we all cleaned our plates until it was gone. Sooo good.

It was the ideal comforting meal for a day spent with good friends and in good company. If you decide to give this a try, I hope you enjoy it.
