If you’re looking for a festive meal with flair, I’ve got you covered. My Holiday Prime Rib menu features all the best elements of a holiday meal. We’re serving Holiday Prime Rib, Horseradish Sauce, and Blue Cheese Rosemary Mashed Potatoes.
The best part? It’s all cooked on the Traeger! This holiday menu will impress the harshest critic and please all pallets. The flavor profile is full of fresh herbs and my decadent rubs. Putting together a holiday menu can be stressful; let me take one thing off your list this year. Holiday Prime Rib could be a new family favorite.
Festive dining has never tasted better. There’s something special about a holiday meal done BBQ-style. Every bite is flavorful and seasoned to perfection. Say goodbye to bland meals and hello to eating like a pit boss.
As always, I added my twist to these classic holiday favorites. You won’t believe the difference between this menu and similar line-ups. The secret ingredient? My signature rubs. Once you try it, you’ll never be without it.
This fancy holiday menu includes three dishes, each with its own unique set of ingredients. Here’s what you need to add to your shopping cart.
Here’s the main equipment I used for this holiday dinner. You can find more of my favorite grilling must-haves in the equipment and tools section.
You can find a detailed demonstration of these recipes in the recipe card and video at the bottom of this post. Enjoy this brief overview of how I pulled this feast together.
This Christmas buffet was ready in about 3 ½ hours. The prime rib was perfectly juicy and had a gorgeous crust. The au jus sauce made it even better! I topped the prime rib with a dollop of horseradish sauce, which gave this meal style. The potatoes had just the right texture, and the blue cheese paired well with our prime rib.
This is a meal to remember; that’s better than any catering company.
You can save any leftovers for another fantastic dinner. Leftover prime rib can be kept in the fridge for 5-7 days or in the freezer for 6 months. The au jus sauce will last 3-4 days or indefinitely in the freezer. The veggies will last about a week in the fridge. I don’t recommend freezing the leftover veggies, as the texture will be off once they thaw.
You can store leftover mashed potatoes in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. If you plan on reheating them, I recommend putting a few slivers of butter over the top and covering the pan with foil until they’re warmed. This prevents them from drying out.
