Holiday Ribeye Roast #SundaySupper #RoastPerfect

To say I am a little excited about this week’s #SundaySupper event is an understatement. After years of breaking bread virtually every Sunday, 20 of the Sunday Supper bloggers have the opportunity to sit around the family table in the same room and enjoy Sunday Supper together. Do you have any idea how exciting that is for us? Not only that, we are enjoying a full weekend at theCertified Angus Beef® brand Education and Culinary Center learning about beef photography, styling and so much more. Did I mention we the beef-cooking classes and over the top meals prepared by their talented chefs? 

A little about this recipe – as you all know, my boys love their beef. And while I have prepared Holiday Tenderloin Roasts, I had never prepared a prime rib. Truth be told, I was a little hesitant to give this piece of meat a try. I don’t know what it was about this cut of meat that I found so intimidating? When Certified Angus Beef® brand developed Roast Perfect, a free app that includes everything you need to choose and perfectly prepare special occasion and everyday beef roasts, I knew it was time to go for it. This app is totally the bomb and makes it easy to figure out how much beef you will need to purchase depending on the number of people you are hosting and most importantly how long to cook your roast depending on level of desired doneness.

Off to my favorite Italian Market I went looking for the perfect piece of Certified Angus Beef Ribeye Roast. I love the friendly butchers at Mazzaro’s Market, they have never steered me wrong. I do have to admit that on this particular day, when the roast was sitting on the scale, I questioned if this was a perfect roast. I couldn’t get over the fat in the middle of the ribeye. My butcher reassured me that the this bit of fat would add delicious flavor to the prime rib.

I followed the directions to the prime rib exactly as the Roast Perfect app instructed and it was perfection. The only thing I changed up just a bit was the rub. I love a good garlic and paprika rub for my roasts. One bite and my boys gave my first prime rib a perfect 10. They absolutely loved it! Although when asked which roast they would like to see at this year’s Christmas table, last year’s Holiday Beef Tenderloin still had their vote. 

During my visit at the Certified Angus Beef Culinary center, we had lots of opportunities to spend time with the chefs and ask them questions. I mentioned my concerns regarding my ribeye, not to question my butcher, but I wanted to put my mind at ease. Chef Peter informed me that this is known as “star fat” and it is actually the superstar of the show because it is packed with flavor. Going towards the fat is more flavor. You can cut out this area when serving the prime rib and the meat around it will melt in your mouth. My boys would agree!
