Grade
The grade is going to play a big role in the quality of the meat. Now technically a prime rib is prime grade and anything else is referred to as a standing rib roast. These days, however, prime rib is a more general name and refers to the cut, not necessarily the quality.
The Small End
A full rib roast can be up to seven bones, and if this is what you are after, we are proud of you. If you are not, however, and are doing a smaller roast, then ask your butcher to cut your roast from the small end. The small end is closer to the loin and the large end is closer to the chuck.
Trim
This is when you really want an experienced butcher. The perfect prime rib needs a very professional touch because any professional will know not to touch it. The less trimming the better. You want all the bone and fat right where it is. Unless something is hanging off, you don’t want to touch this roast any more than you have to. So no trimming.
Size
Size does matter. It might seem backward, but larger roasts are actually easier to cook. Small roasts are less forgiving. Think about it this way. A small roast can go from perfect to ruined in a few minutes, but a larger roast will give you a bigger window of opportunity. As long as you can fit your roast where you are going to cook it (i.e.
Rest
This is the biggest secret to the perfect prime rib. In fact, it is the secret for most large cuts of meat. When the roast is nearly at the perfect temperature (as your trusty meat thermometer told you), it's time for it to rest. Remove the roast from the heat, cover, and let sit for about 15 minutes. This allows the meat to relax and tenderize.
Basic Recipe
This is a no frills method with the opportunity for you to apply herbs and spices to taste. Personally, I find less is more with this cut of beef. Let the true meat flavors shine through and add a little au jus when you serve it for a more juicy and rich taste. A little horseradish also works well.
Making Au Jus
Au jus simply means “its own juice” in French, and refers to the liquid naturally given off by the beef as it cooks. Traditionally, it is simply the liquid that is expelled from the cooked meat.
