Judy’s Perfect Prime Rib

We asked our mom, Judy Serres, what pairs best with our 2018 Watriss – our estate Bordeaux-style blend.

Her answer was classic: Prime Rib!

The Watriss is a wine with structure and developed tannins, which soften nicely when matched with the marbling in prime rib. The dark fruit and holiday spice characteristics also match nicely with this tender, savory meat.To allow both the wine and beef to show their character, simple is best. Luckily, Judy is willing to share her recipe for perfect prime rib:

INGREDIENTS

One large bone-in prime rib (Costco has prime cut)

Worcestershire sauce

Softened Butter

Salt & Pepper

DIRECTIONS:

Let prime rib rest on the counter for two hours so it is room-temperature

Preheat oven to 350

Put prime rib in roasting pan

Dot with pats of softened butter

Sprinkle with Worcestershire sauce

Liberally coat with salt

Roast at 350 for 2 1/2 hours

Important: Use juice for gravy
