Recipe, video and photography provided by Heinen’s partner, Chef Billy Parisi.
This recipe is one you’ll come back to because it will help you cook a delicious standing prime rib roast every single time.
Standing rib roast is one of my favorite things to make and eat. I get it, it can be scary! It’s a big piece of meat and you want to make sure it’s cooked perfectly. If you follow these simple techniques, I promise you’ll be in love with the final result — an impressive, luxurious entrée fit for any holiday celebration.
I prefer medium-rare, but if you want to adjust your doneness to medium or medium-well, my best advice is to use a thermometer to monitor the temperature of your roast.
