Marinade for prime rib

[Loprraine]

I've never had a marinated prime rib, I usually do as the others said. How was it?

Why change the flavor and texture of a prime rib with a marinade?

Enjoy!

Uncle Bob, great minds must think alike! Your words are exactly the ones that came into my head when I saw this thread topic. And when I saw "pineapple juice" in the first post, I knew I had to put in a protest!

I totally agree -- IMO it would be a huge mistake (and waste) to marinate prime rib/

In addition, tarragon and sage are not generally used to season beef.

Pineapple juice should be used only on tough cuts. The enzymes break down protein. It would make your prime rib mushy.

OK...another angle.

Season with S&P and throw it on the grill to your liking. Then make a dipping sauce with the flavors you mentioned. I've had 40 clove of garlic rib roasts, BBQ prime rib, side of Jus, etc. Flavors sound good....just think they would work better as a sauce.

Some ideas for next time.

If you want to incorporate the red wine, you might consider a sauce. (I like mine with yorkshire pudding & horseradish.)

Roast Prime Rib with Madeira Sauce and Horseradish Sauce

Then you should make a pot roast, or a brisket, or short ribs, or some other form of beef that benefits from a marinade, instead of ruining your already-yummy-as-it-is Prime Rib!

bbq salt and paprika, alittle onion powder and a touch garlic. As for marinade, I have to disagree. Put a rub on her. Then id rock out with A1 sauce at serving time.

I was watching a show where the guy built a sauce with red wine, wild mushrooms and some cream and reduced it, he then poured it on the sliced medium rare rib. He had a good lookin rub on her with garlic, brown sugar and onion salt.

He also made roasted carrots and i think i saw twice baked potatoes.

Mikey... a rub is not a marinade! and even a rub better not be left on too long, or the tissue will break down and you'll end up with mush. It may be flavorful, but it will still be mush!
