This Insanely Easy Prime Rib Roast Recipe Went Viral on Twitter

/

Shortly before Christmas, I hopped on Twitter to play a hashtag game and, shockingly, I noticed PRIME RIB was trending.

If you’re a Twitter regular you know that typical trends are political, sports-related, K-pop, or Waffle House fights.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen literal meat trending so I definitely clicked on the trend.

Much to my delight, the first tweet I saw was from Chef Andrew Gruel and it was a concise, simple, insanely easy prime rib tutorial.

As of December 27th, his tweet was viewed over 1.4 MILLION times. It has over 1400 retweets and almost 9000 likes.

When a recipe goes viral, there’s a reason. In this case:

  • Chef Gruel’s prime rib recipe is easy enough for any home cook

  • He tells you WHAT to do and WHY

  • His recipe is just 7 steps, each under 280 characters

  • He had the most incredible photo of a prime rib roast

Growing up, the only seasoning my mom used on a roast was a can of Campbell’s condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup. If only she knew WHEN to salt and WHY to salt a roast, as is explained in this tweet.

 

Cook time and temperature is critical for a delicious, tender, juicy roast. Chef Gruel explains it perfectly.

 

I mean, how fun is BLASTING the oven to sear your prime rib??

 

Literally no one wants a well-done prime rib. Here’s how to know when to stop cooking.

 

Resting makes your roast juicy and delicious. Your guests will thank you.

 

You can make a sauce, like Chef Gruel explains, or serve prime rib with a classic horseradish sauce. This is the horseradish sauce recipe I always use.

 

No better praise for a viral prime rib roast recipe than someone who MAKES that recipe (and shares a pic).

 

Now that you know HOW to make perfect prime rib, here are some of the best prime rib photos I found on Twitter.

Why is Prime Rib so popular at Christmas?

Prime Rib is a popular holiday dish because of its flavor and tenderness. It is typically served as a roast and offers a delicious, juicy cut of meat that can be shared with family and friends. It also has a long tradition of being served at Christmas, making it a great choice for a festive meal. Additionally, it requires minimal preparation, making it an easy dish for busy holiday cooks.

 
 

How to choose the perfect prime rib roast to cook.

Choosing the perfect prime rib roast to cook can be a bit of a challenge, but it doesn't have to be! The key is to find a roast that has a good amount of marbling (intramuscular fat) and is a good size for your needs. When selecting a prime rib roast, make sure to check the cut and grade of the meat. The USDA grades beef as either Choice or Prime, with Prime being the higher grade. Prime rib is usually cut from the 6th to the 12th rib of the cow, so be sure to check the rib number of the roast you are considering.

When selecting a prime rib roast, look for one with a uniform shape that has a good amount of marbling throughout. You'll also want to consider the size of the roast and how many people it will be serving. Generally, a 3-bone roast will serve 3-4 people and a 7-bone roast will serve 7-8 people.
