How do you eat leftover prime rib? ›

As soon as dinner's finished, wrap any leftover prime rib tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate or freeze. While it's best the next day, leftover prime rib is good for between five and seven days in the fridge or up to six months in the freezer.

Drizzle the meat with ¼ to ½ cup beef broth, stock, or leftover au jus to help steam the meat as it heats. Tightly cover the pan with a lid or foil, then place the pan in the oven for 15 to 30 minutes until the meat is warmed through in the center. (Timing will vary depending on the size and thickness of the meat.)

Remove the prime rib from refrigerator 30 minutes before you want to reheat it, and allow it to come to room temperature. Either add the steak to a pan with a splash of broth and heat over medium-low or slice the steak into smaller pieces and heat quickly over high heat and sauté for a few minutes.

Preheat your oven to 250F, and add the slices of prime rib to a small baking pan with a few tablespoons of broth (water works too, but might dilute the flavor of the meat a bit). Cover the pan tightly with foil and warm it in oven until the prime rib slices feel like they've heated through, about 10 minutes.

Birria sauce is made by blending dried chiles, Mexican oregano, cloves, garlic, cumin, and a few other spices together. The final result is a smooth, rich, and spicy sauce perfect for flavoring meats and other proteins. It's one of those recipes that you really need to taste to understand.

The tacos are prepared by soaking the tortillas in the adobo liquid, cooking them on a flat top, and filling them with the delicious stewed beef. Birriras are usually sold with a side of the cooking liquid and a topping of freshly chopped onion and cilantro.

In short, corn tortillas are the way to go for your birria tacos. If you really like flour tortillas you can use them too, but in that case you'll be eating a birria burrito and you experience will be different.

Serve Prime Rib Cold

Like fried chicken, prime rib is just as tasty (some would say even better) cold rather than hot. Use thinly sliced leftover beef in sandwiches and main dish salads or chop it and add it to a weeknight stir-fry, sandwich, or soup.

Leftovers can be kept for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator. After that, the risk of food poisoning goes up. If you don't think you'll be able to eat leftovers within four days, freeze them right away. Frozen leftovers will stay safe for a long time.

Plan to have one pound of bone-in prime rib per person, or one rib for every two diners. If you're ordering from a butcher, you can either request by pound or number of ribs. To order by pound, ask for an eight-pound prime rib for eight people, or a 10-pound cut for 10 people.

Keep in mind there will be a small amount of shrink while cooking, so buy a little extra to ensure you have some leftovers for those shaved prime rib sandwiches the next day. Bone or No Bone? While the bones do add a great flavor, it's not necessary to cook a bone-in rib roast.

Pour some hot beef stock, or hot water, onto the meat, cover it tightly with foil and shoot it into a hot oven for about 10 minutes.
