What is your traditional Christmas dinner?
 

My family had always done prime rib, mashed potatoes, and a few seasonal vegetable sides. I've only cooked prime rib once and it came out *okay*, but I'm going to give it a try again this year. Recommendation for a good veggie side?

What is your family's traditional Christmas dinner spread? Someone owed me $1 for every time someone says "ham"

Pizza

Honeybaked Ham, taters, veggies, potato rolls.

Twice baked potatoes and grilled asparagus with a balsamic reduction drizzle.

As for the actual prime, I won't impose suggestions as far as seasoning goes, but avoid rubbing with too much or any salt as it'll draw out juices.

Always let the roast come to room temp before cooking, always cook rib side down, and always pull the roast when its roughly 10 degrees lower than your target temp. Cover it loosely in tinfoil and allow it to rest for at least 20 minutes before carving and serving. The importance of the last step cannot be overstated.


Good luck! :cool:

Ham, baked ziti, hot roast pork sandwiches.

I'm the king of prime rib. I'm not doing it this year but I usually do. I do prime rib, homemade yorkshire pudding popovers and whatever vegetable people want.

I can tell you how to do it if you want.

before my grandmother passed it was Cioppino, good god that stuff is awesome.
