When it comes to choosing the most iconic food in Wyoming, if you ask a dozen people, you’ll likely get a dozen answers. Many of us think first of chokecherries, while others daydream of bison and elk. One thing that’s for certain, though, is that prime rib is somewhere on every Cowboy State resident’s list.

Everyone in Wyoming has an idea of what the best prime rib plate looks like, from choosing sides to their favorite style of cut, and how they like it cooked.

The most important part of making your own prime rib is ensuring it’s slow roasted. That way, you end up with a tender steak that melts in your mouth.

You also can’t forget the au jus! Take the juices left from roasting the beef, add some wine, Worcester sauce, and whatever else your recipe calls for to create a delicious gravy.

Prime rib is best served with potatoes, some veggies, and of course, a soft roll to help soak up the au jus.
