PALEO PRIME RIB
PALEO PRIME RIB

Prime rib is a pretty simple meal to prepare, but you have to make sure that you get the right cut of meat. You want to make sure the meat is bright in color and has even fat distribution. When in doubt, ask someone at the meat counter to help you pick out the best one.
For prime rib, the cooking time really isn't as important as the temperature, so you need to make sure you have a meat thermometer for this to come out right. You also need to make sure to let the meat rest after cooking - very important I tell you!
You can use the pan drippings to make yorkshire pudding, or turn it into a yummy gravy by mixing a Tbsp. of arrowroot powder with 2 cups of beef broth and adding it to the drippings. Stir until the gravy thickens and season with sea salt and pepper to your taste.
I got so excited to eat this roast that I forgot to take pictures after it was sliced. You are just going to have to trust me, it was delicious.
