Prime rib roast is an elegant, succulent roast to serve for the holidays.
Christmas Rib Roast
Smothered in garlic and cooked to perfection; Christmas dinner is not complete without my perfectly cooked Prime Rib Roast.
The Christmas sideboard includes other family favorite recipes: Homemade cranberry sauce, creamed onions, green bean casserole, sour cream mashed potatoes, spinach-artichoke bake, and baked sweet potatoes, just to name a few. Of course, we can't forget about the pies for dessert!

Prime Rib Red Wine Gravy
- Remove aromatic solids from the roasting pan and discard, reserving pan juices. Combine 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 cup red wine. in a jar with a tight-fitting lid, shake mixture until well blended. Place the pan on the stove top covering the back and front burners, heat both burners to medium. Deglaze the pan with the wine flour mixture, making sure to scrap all the browned bits to collect all the rich flavor. Add more wine or beef stock if gravy is too thick, salt and pepper to taste, serve with roast and mashed potatoes!
Notes
My family prefers medium to medium well roasts, so I generally add 10 minutes to the cooking time after the meat thermometer reaches 145 degrees, producing a hot pink center (for me and my husband) and a juicy medium to medium well for the rest o the family. My dad takes the burnt ends!
