4 Restaurant Chains With the Juiciest Prime Rib, According to Butchers
Prime rib is one of those dishes you order when you want something indulgent and satisfying.
There’s nothing like a juicy slice when it’s done right. While it shows up on menus at plenty of restaurants, some do it much better than others.
According to Gabriel LLaurado, butcher, Co-Founder, CMO, CTO Meat N’ Bone, a great prime rib needs to have three things:
- Heavy marbling and a generous fat cap
- Low-and-slow roasting for tenderness
- Proper resting and carving to preserve juices
