We have prime rib every Christmas. My family loves it and it’s something we all look forward to. Does making a whole prime rib sound kind of intimidating? It was for me too but it’s really pretty easy. You’ll need a good roasting pan and meat thermometer to get it right. Let the meat come to room temperature before roasting. It will probably need to sit out of the fridge at least an hour, if not two.
