- Each sauce will pair well with different sides! Take into account what sides you're serving, and choose a sauce that will go well with everything.
- Prime ribs are hefty cuts of meat! Make sure to make plenty of sauce so there's enough to go around. Extra can always be stored in the fridge for leftovers!
- Don't pour out the drippings! Once the prime rib is cooked, save the drippings for Au Jus, a wine reduction, or a delicious beef gravy or broth for later!
