How to Make a  Standing Rib Roast (Prime Rib)
Why would someone who focuses on frugality share a recipe for a standing rib roast (prime rib) when it is such an expensive cut of meat? Because you can make a whole roast for the cost of two people eating prime rib at a restaurant!

Sometimes you want to celebrate an event or holiday with a nice dinner. Cooking your own prime rib allows you to enjoy a delicious dinner for a fraction of the price of eating out.

Frugal Tip: Always look in the meat counter for manager’s specials. I find great deals on marked down meat after the holidays. Another great time to find deals on marked down meat is during Lent. I have noticed that  Lent catches many of our local meat department managers by surprise and they buy the normal quantity of red meat without realizing that a lot of people will eliminate or cut back on meat consumption during that time. I scoop up the meat deals during the first week of Lent and freeze the meat for later use.

The best prime rib is cooked at high temperature to seal in the juices and then cooked at a low temperature for a long time to cook it all the way through without drying the roast. Don’t try to rush a standing rib roast. I have regretted it every time I have tried – it is better to serve dinner late, than risk ruining prime rib.

    This looks delicious!!! We ended up cooking a rib roast for Christmas Day because that’s what the store had on sale Christmas eve. It was heavenly and the high to low temp works perfect!

    I love that you can find Prime Rib. Where I live, we can never find true Prime Grade meat. We can only get Choice or Select, and they market it as “Prime.” I’m sure it doesn’t make a difference, but I still want to try to cook it.

    My sister makes a rib roast each year for Christmas Eve. She always cuts the bones away, then ties them back on, before roasting. This provides the taste improvement of cooking on the bone while making carving easier.

    I love prime rib! I know it’s supposed to be a no-no, but we found a tavern that takes a perfect slice of prime rib, then seasons and grills it like a steak. It’s absolutely amazing.

    I’ve never made prime rib at home. I may have to try it soon. 🙂

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
