This year marks the first year that my husband and I will host the family Christmas event at our own home. It’s our first Christmas out of an apartment and in our home, so needless to say we are both pretty excited about it, but while I am worrying over seating and decorations he has one thing on his mind…food. He is in charge of the meat for this get together, and he has seriously been obsessing over it for over a week. The decision he made was to go with a standing rib roast.
If you have not had a rib roast before, then you are missing out on some of the best flavored beef out there. When cooked correctly a rib roast in moist, tender, and full of flavor. Cooking it the right way does not have to be difficult either. You just have to set the temperature and cook it indirectly. My one recommendation that you must follow is to cook it medium rare. Overcooking such a delicious and expensive piece of meat is not only unintelligent, but it is a pure waste of money. I mean, these things cost upwards of $9.00 a pound on sale, so why would you destroy something that pricey?
One of the recipes that my husband swears by is the one in the video below from the BBQ Pit Boys. It is easy and absolutely delicious. So, if you are as obsessed with beef as my husband is, maybe a rib roast for the holidays is the best option for you too!
