Chef Richard Blais' prime rib recipe is the mouth-watering meal to enjoy this Christmas
If you're hosting a Christmas dinner this year, consider delicious prime rib as your centerpiece.
Richard Blais, chef at Four Flamingos, located in Key West, Florida, is offering up his Coffee BBQ Prime Rib Roast just in time for the holiday season.
"I love prime rib for a few reasons. The first is that it’s easy to cook, season it well and pop it in the oven. Adjust the temperature once and remove it to rest. Anyone can do it!" Blais, who is also a "Next Level Chef" co-star, told Fox News Digital.
"I also love that you can ask the butcher to cut the whole rib roast in half or even just one bone-in piece — so it’s a great option for small get-togethers, large events or even a meal for one or two."

Blais said the drippings create a tasty gravy and if you decide to make popovers, "it’s the full holiday roast experience."
"Not to mention ‘turkey overload’ can be a real thing and the beef roast cures that as well as [having] an air of ‘luxury’ about it," he said.

Blais said if the beef is out of your budget, try a chunk of pork as the replacement for this recipe.

"Serve with popovers and gravy, some horseradish cream and a good apple butter or chutney and maybe some green beans or carrots on the side!" he added.
