Resting: The Secret to Juicy Prime Rib
After roasting, allow your prime rib to rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing. Resting lets the juices redistribute, ensuring every bite is tender and succulent. Tent the roast loosely with foil to keep it warm while it rests.
Serving Suggestions
Prime rib pairs beautifully with classic sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, or a rich horseradish sauce. Slice the meat against the grain to maximize tenderness and serve generously.
Final Tips
Avoid slicing immediately after roasting; patience is key.
Always use a meat thermometer to prevent overcooking.
Experiment with herb blends and garlic rubs to make the recipe your own.
