National Prime Rib Day
April 27, Sunday
"Prime rib" is a choice part of the beef carcass, taken from the top rib cut. It is characterized by high marbling of meat, which makes it especially juicy and flavorful when cooked. The dish is usually prepared by baking in the oven to preserve the juiciness and give it a crust. In restaurants, prime rib is often served with sauces such as horseradish or "au jus" and mashed potatoes, vegetables or bread are chosen as a side dish.
