When counting down my favorite holidays, I most certainly include Christmas, Halloween, and the 4th of July. However, there is an additional holiday on my list. While I cannot buy a greeting card for it, I can take a trip to the butcher. It's Prime Rib Day.
There are more “holiday” celebrations than days on the calendar. Most are uh, silly. Take for instance, “Vitamin C Day” or “Ferret Day.” Unless of course, you like Ferret’s, then let’s add “Unicorn Day.” All of them are celebrated in April. No matter how goofy these days are, Prime Rib Day, April 27th, is a serious celebration in my life.
Truthfully, any day I fire up the grill should be a holiday. However, if I had to pick just one food-centric day to celebrate, why not the king of beef? Prime Rib is one of my favorite cuts of beef to grill. It’s large, it’s impressive, and its rich beef flavor is second to none. This is the type of meal when the grill lid is pulled back guests will register an immediate, “Wow!”
Thankfully, Prime Rib Day is an annual event, as there are many different ways to prepare the roast. One of my favorites is the rotisserie. The slowly spinning spit and its self-basting action produces the most succulent meat. This recipe by Jamie Purviance gives you not only all of the help to make your Prime Rib Day memorable, but a wonderful pearl mushroom side to put your dinner over the top. Happy Prime Rib Day!
