How Much Prime Rib Per Person: My Rule of Thumb

When it comes to party planning, I love it!

I want my guests to have a great experience and a great meal! For holidays and especially when we want to treat our favorite people - prime rib is always my first choice.

There are a million ways to make Prime Rib, and my favorite is the Scientific Method found here.

TL/dr: 1 pound Bone-In Prime Rib per Person.

That's precooked!

Whole prime rib roasts are 18-24lbs each. Counting from the front to back, ribs number 6-12.

Half prime rib roasts are either 3 or 4 ribs each. Ours range from 8-12lbs each, depending on the animal.

You can guess after cooking and removing the bone (save for broth!) the finished product is less than 1lb per person, but it's still a lot of beef!

If you make our prime rib, tell me how it goes!

XO,

Louisa

Learn the difference and why these rare steaks are worth chasing.

Can You Eat Dry Aged Beef Raw?

Dry aged beef is famous for its rich, nutty flavor and tender bite, but can you eat it raw? The short answer is yes, you can, but it is not the safest choice. Unlike cuts prepared for steak tartare or carpaccio, dry aged beef develops a crust during aging that is trimmed away and best enjoyed cooked. Learn why the grill or pan is the right way to unlock its flavor and keep your meal safe.
