National Prime Rib Day

Celebrate National Prime Rib Day!

April 27th is National Prime Rib Day, and if you love a good piece of meat, this holiday is for you! But what exactly is prime rib? And how can you celebrate? Let’s take a look.

What Is Prime Rib?

Prime rib, also known as standing rib roast, is a cut of beef that comes from the rib primal section of the cow. It has an ample amount of fat marbling (fat running through it), which makes it incredibly flavorful and tender when cooked properly. It’s often served with horseradish cream or au jus gravy and roasted vegetables like potatoes or carrots.

How to Celebrate National Prime Rib Day

There are plenty of ways to celebrate National Prime Rib Day. The first option is to make your own prime rib at home. You can find prime rib roasts in most grocery stores or butcher shops – just remember to pick one that fits the size of your crowd! Once you have the roast, decide how you’d like to season it – garlic and rosemary are classic flavors that pair well with the richness of prime rib. Then all you have to do is prepare the roast by rubbing it in oil and spices, then cooking it at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until done (about 20 minutes per pound).

If making a whole prime rib roast isn’t your thing, then consider ordering one from a local restaurant. Many restaurants will be offering specials on this delicious cut on April 27th – and since its National Prime Rib Day, why not try something new? See if there’s a restaurant near you that serves unique takes on this classic dish (like serving it alongside some macaroni and cheese or adding Asian-inspired spices). You won’t regret trying something different! Happy eating!
