The Best Butchershop Roasts for Your Family Holiday
With the holidays here in full swing, it’s time to enjoy the spirit of family, gift-giving, and community. That said, every holiday needs delicious food for everyone to gather around and share. Breaking bread with one another is one of the best ways to grow closer, and one of the most important aspects of any meal is the main course. That’s why we here at Pease Packing are happy to serve as Southwest Michigan’s favorite butchershop: because we provide the meats that families share in celebration.
With that in mind, figuring out which cuts of meat to get from your local butcher and how to prepare them can feel like a stressful decision. Well, we here at Pease Packing recommend one cut that everyone is sure to love: prime rib. Today, we’re discussing the best ways to prepare prime rib purchased from your local butchershop.
What Makes Prime Rib So Prime?
Before we explore what it is about prime rib that makes it so delectable, we want to answer a simple question: what makes prime rib so prime?
In a nutshell, prime rib (also known as standing rib roast) is considered one of the best meats because it embodies all of the properties that make for delicious cuts of meat, such as:
- Tenderness
- Juiciness
- Easy cooking
- Delicious flavor
If all these reasons aren’t enough to convince you that prime rib is a great choice, then just know it has our seal of approval as a premium butchershop. We’ll be serving prime rib at our family dinners throughout this holiday season.
The Best Ways to Prepare Prime Rib
Nothing says “holiday dinner” quite like a cut of prime rib. Prime rib is easily one of the most delicious meals around, and believe it or not, it’s surprisingly versatile. Here are three delicious ways to prepare prime rib this Christmas:
Traditional Prime Rib: Delicious and Easy. The great thing about prime rib (other than the taste) is how easy it is to prepare. With a healthy cut of prime rib, you can make a delicious, traditional meal just by coating the fatty side with olive oil, garlic, pepper, salt, and thyme, then roasting it fatty-side-up. Adjust the temperature based on how well-done you want it, then serve!
Smoked Prime Rib: Flavorful and Memorable. Believe it or not, you can smoke prime rib for a delicious meal. Served with red wine steak sauce, this prime rib is both tender and tantalizingly sweet.
Prime Rib with Beef Gravy: Old School and Country Style. While some people believe that serving prime rib with beef gravy is a waste of a good cut of meat, we believe this couldn’t be further from the truth. Served with a tasty, seasoned beef gravy, you can enjoy the perfect country-style meal this Christmas.
