Prime Rib: The Centerpiece of Health
Prime Rib is often considered a "heavy" holiday indulgence, but it’s actually an incredible source of high-quality protein, iron, and B-vitamins. By trimming the excess fat and roasting it with fresh herbs, it becomes a cornerstone of a healthy holiday meal.
Healthy Prime Rib Preparation
The secret is in the trim. Many roasts come with a heavy "fat cap." Trimming this before roasting keeps the flavor in the meat while significantly lowering the calorie count.
Instructions:
- Rub 4 cloves of minced garlic and fresh rosemary into the roast.
- Roast at 450°F for 15 mins to sear the outside.
- Drop heat to 325°F until the center hits 135°F.
- Crucial: Let rest for 20 minutes to lock in juices.
The Power of the Family Dinner
Why do we recommend Prime Rib for the holidays? Because a large roast like this encourages the family dinner. Eating together without distractions builds emotional health and encourages mindful eating habits. It’s not just about the protein on the plate; it’s about the people around it.
