Lawry’s The Prime Rib

Lawry’s The Prime Rib is the classic for oversized prime rib. “Their method of slow-roasting in rock salt ensures an even cook, formidable tenderness, and a depth of flavor far more worthy than it deserves,” Bitty Lo, a recipe developer with No Dash of Gluten, recently dished to ETNT.

801 Chophouse is a classic steakhouse that serves high-quality prime rib. Dennis Littley, Chef and Culinary Expert at Ask Chef Dennis, recently told ETNT why it’s so great. 801 Chophouse “really knows how to do prime rib justice,” he states. “From a chef’s perspective with decades of experience, it’s all about the slow roasting,” Chef Dennis explains. “They cook it low and slow to lock in the juices, making each slice that ‘melt in your mouth’ texture. The seasoning is simple but precise, complementing the natural flavor of the beef rather than masking it.” Chef Dennis adds, “What makes it stand out, in my experience, is the combination of technique and timing. They serve it perfectly warm, with a beautiful crust on the outside and a perfectly juicy center. Which any chef or person can appreciate.”

Outback’s slow-roasted prime rib is a regular menu feature, offered in larger cuts (commonly up to 16 oz) at many locations. “I really don’t like Outback, but I will defend their Prime Rib. Cooked medium, its wonderful,” writes a diner. Another calls it “perfection,” commenting on a Reddit post. “People may sometimes hate on Outback, but I’ve never had a bad piece of prime rib there. And their tangy tomato salad dressing is delicious (I need to find a dupe of that recipe, if anyone has something similar I’d be forever in your debt).”
