How to Celebrate National Prime Rib Day
Whether you're a seasoned home cook or simply someone who appreciates a great cut of beef, there are plenty of delicious ways to mark National Prime Rib Day on your calendar. From elegant roasts to creative handheld twists, prime rib is surprisingly versatile, so celebrations can range from an afternoon in the kitchen to a quick stop at your nearest Freddy's. Here are five mouthwatering ways to celebrate National Prime Rib Day, including how Freddy's makes it easier than ever to enjoy this beloved cut without the fuss.
Classic Prime Rib au Jus
Few preparations are as timeless as a slow-roasted prime rib served with a rich, savory au jus for dipping. The natural juices collected during roasting are seasoned and reduced into a deeply flavorful broth that complements every bite of the tender beef. It's the kind of dish that defines a special occasion (which is exactly why April 27 calls for it).
Prime Rib French Dip Sandwich
A French dip puts prime rib in sandwich form with thin-sliced beef piled onto a toasted hoagie roll and served with a warm dipping broth on the side. The contrast of the crusty bread, tender meat, and savory dipping jus makes it a fan favorite for a reason.
Prime Rib Tacos
Prime rib isn't just for formal dinners, it's also exceptional when sliced thin and tucked into warm tortillas with fresh toppings like pickled red onion, cilantro, and a drizzle of crema. The richness of the beef plays beautifully against bright, acidic toppings.
Prime Rib Loaded Baked Potato
A loaded baked potato topped with shaved prime rib, sour cream, cheddar cheese, and chives turns a humble side dish into the star of the meal. It's hearty, satisfying, and endlessly customizable (much like the Freddy's experience, where guests can pile on toppings to build their ideal steakburger).
Prime Rib Flatbread
Prime rib finds a lighter, shareable form on a crispy flatbread topped with garlic aioli, caramelized onions, arugula, and shaved beef. It's an appetizer and entrée in one and perfect for kicking off a National Prime Rib Day celebration.
Prime Rib Steakburger
Savor the mouthwatering flavor of prime rib without spending the day in the kitchen, when you order the Prime Rib Steakburger at Freddy’s. This menu item includes thin slices of prime rib layered with two steakburger patties, as well as melted Swiss cheese, sauteed portobello mushrooms, grilled onions and a toasted bun with garlic aioli. Order just this steakburger or make it a combo meal with your favorite drink or treat in addition to a choice of sides. You can also select sliced prime rib as a topping for various steakburgers.
