Every year on Christmas Eve and sometimes New Years Eve, our family enjoys the most amazing standing rib roast aka prime rib!
As most of you already know, I lived in Savannah, GA for 13 years. There were so many great restaurants and southern chef’s but one stood out from all the rest. Paula Deen has become known worldwide and is a chef who has her own cooking empire and also lives and has many restaurants in Savannah, GA. She is known for her southern charm and southern cooking.
Her recipe for Standing Rib Roast, is so perfect that I couldn’t change it one bit! This is hands down the best standing rib roast recipe I have ever come across. So this year why not try this amazing recipe and enjoy a wonderful holiday meal.
