    💭 Tips For Choosing The Best Main Dish For Christmas Dinner

    Here are a few tips if you're unsure exactly what you're looking for (or it's your first year hosting Christmas dinner). These guidelines will help you narrow down what entrees will work for your family at Christmas!

    1. Know Your Audience: Are there vegetarians? People with food allergies? Picky eaters? Take them into consideration. Christmas is one of those times you want to ensure everyone can share in the food and festivities!
    2. Honor Traditions: Some families have a traditional dish they expect at Christmas. (If you're breaking from tradition, you might want to discuss it with your family first!)
    3. Availability of Ingredients: If you are opting for wild game or some of the more premier proteins, make sure they are available in your area. I know first-hand how hard it is to get certain cuts of meat around Christmas!
    4. Skill Level: If you're trying a new recipe, make sure it's within your cooking skill range. Better yet, do a test run beforehand (this even applies to seasoned cooks like me)!
    5. Accompaniments: Consider the side dishes. Are there certain recipes you know will be served each year that you can plan around? Some mains have traditional sides to pair them with, while others offer more flexibility.

    Gathering at the Christmas dinner table is my favorite part of the day! What's your go-to main course for the holiday season?

    Prime Rib Rub

    • 1 ½ tablespoon kosher salt
    • 1 tablespoon coarse ground pepper (freshly ground is best)

    • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (or regular paprika)

    Instructions

    Preparation

    • First, rinse your prime rib roast under cool running water, then pat it dry using paper towels. Slice off any excess fat or silver skin if desired. If possible, set your roast out 1-2 hours before cooking to come to room temperature.
      5 lb prime rib
    • (optional) Use butcher twine to tie your roast. For boneless prime rib, space the twine out every 1.5 inches down the length of the roast.

    Prime Rib Rub

    • In a small bowl, combine all of the dry rub ingredients (salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground sage, dried rosemary and dried thyme) and set it aside.
      1 ½ tablespoon kosher salt, 1 tablespoon coarse ground pepper, ½ tablespoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1 teaspoon ground sage, ½ teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon dried thyme
    • Put your roast on a baking sheet or in a baking dish coat it with the 2 tablespoons of horseradish all over. Season it generously with the dry rub on all sides. Massage the seasoning into the meat and roll the edges of the roast in any excess that has fallen off.
      2 tablespoon horseradish

    Roasting The Prime Rib

    • Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C).
    • Transfer the prepared roast to a roasting pan (fat-side-up for boneless roasts or bone-side-down for a standing rib roast). Place in the oven and roast for about 3 hours and 45 minutes, or roughly 45 minutes per pound.
    • Once your roast has an internal temperature of 120-125°F (49-52°C) for RARE, 125-129°F (52-54°C) for MEDIUM RARE, 130-139°F (54-59°C) for MEDIUM, or 140-145°F (60-63°C) for MEDIUM DONE, take it out of the oven and loosely tent a piece of foil over the top. Let it rest for 20-30 minutes before slicing and serving.

    (Optional) Reverse Sear

    • If you would like to reverse sear your roast, take it out of the oven 10°F (5.5°C) shy of your ideal internal temperature. Transfer it to a cutting board and cover it with aluminum foil as you bring up the temperature of the oven to 500°F (260°C).
    • Once the oven comes to temperature, return the roast for 5-10 minutes or until it reaches your desired internal temperature. *This will happen quickly so keep a close eye on it.
    • Remove the seared prime rib from the oven and tent a piece of foil loosely over the top. Let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

    Notes

    • If you don't have or don't like horseradish, you can try making this Christmas prime rib roast using a horseradish substitute.
    • Always check the internal temperature of your meat in the thickest part. It is good practice to check a few other areas toward the center to confirm doneness.
    • Remember, the internal temperature for your roast will continue to increase 5-7°F (3-4°C) after being removed from the oven, also known as 'carryover cooking'. Plan for this by removing the roast just shy of your ideal temperature. 
    • To store: Allow the Christmas prime rib roast to cool, then place it in an airtight container and refrigerate it for up to 5 days.
    • To freeze: Wrap the roast in plastic wrap and place it in a heavy-duty freezer bag or airtight container. Freeze for up to 6 months and thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating. Check out my post 'how long can you keep prime rib in the freezer' for more information.
    • To reheat: Place the roast in a baking dish with up to ¼ cup of beef broth (depending on how much meat there is) and bake at 300°F (150°C) until it reaches your desired internal temperature.

      Good evening Miss Angela
      While I was reading some news, I came across this blog, which aroused my curiosity, since when it comes to food, I'm a big fan of Portuguese food, and in reality I didn't know American cuisine, but now I know a little.
      But it wasn't because I talked about food, but it was clearly related, that I got in touch with you. It was just to express my sincere admiration for your Blog and of course I took advantage and stole some recipes from you to enjoy.
      My Thank you very much for the blog and the ideas I took from it.
      Mário Silva a Portuguese man
      By the way, if you can forgive me, your name is similar to a Portuguese name, it would be funny if it were!
