There is nothing quite as good as an excellent cut of beef. I grew up eating my steaks well done. Then years later, my dear husband talked me into trying a steak cooked Medium. I have three words for the experience: O – M – G!!
There are amazing steak houses throughout the country, and I really enjoy visiting them all. BUT, over the last ten years, I have perfected making my own amazing prime rib roast. So, I invite you to stretch beyond what you’re used to, and give this prime rib a try. I promise promise promise, you will be surprised and impressed with your own cooking abilities once you realize how absolutely ah-may-zing this roast is.
