How many pounds should my prime rib be for a specific # of guests?

When planning for a prime rib dinner, a good rule of thumb is to plan for about 1 pound of prime rib per adult guest. This assumes that the prime rib will be the centerpiece of the meal, and that guests will be serving themselves.

Here are some more specific guidelines: –

For a boneless prime rib: –

8-10 guests: 5-6 pounds

12-15 guests: 7-8 pounds

18-20 guests: 9-10 pounds

For a bone-in prime rib:

8-10 guests: 7-8 pounds

12-15 guests: 9-10 pounds

18-20 guests: 11-12 pounds

Keep in mind that these are just rough estimates, and the actual amount of prime rib you’ll need may vary depending on individual appetites and preferences. If you’re unsure, it’s always better to err on the side of caution and have a little extra prime rib on hand.

How long should Prime rib rest?

Do I have to remove the bones first?

No you do not, but if you want to make your life easier for cutting it after its done, you can before!

How to Remove the Bones from a Prime Rib

Before you start, make sure you have a sharp, long-bladed knife, such as a boning knife or a carving knife. It’s also helpful to have a cutting board or other stable surface to work on.

Step 1: Position the Prime Rib – Place the prime rib on the cutting board, bone side up. – Make sure the prime rib is stable and won’t move around while you’re cutting.

Step 2: Locate the Bone Seam – Identify the seam where the bones meet the meat. This is usually a thin line of connective tissue. – Run your knife along this seam, feeling for the edge of the bones.

Step 3: Cut Along the Bone Seam – Holding the prime rib firmly in place, start cutting along the bone seam with your knife. – Use a gentle sawing motion to help the knife glide smoothly along the seam. – Continue cutting until you’ve separated the bones from the meat.

Step 4: Remove the Bones – Once you’ve cut along the entire bone seam, use your knife or your hands to gently pry the bones away from the meat. Use bakers twine and tie the bones back into place wrapping it around the whole roast.
