    Best Prime Rib Dinner

    Over the holiday season, one meal I love serving more than any other is prime rib. Nothing could be more special than a gorgeous beef roast served sliced with a buffet of holiday side dishes!

    For the best prime rib dinner, I always plan my sides around the beef roast. Holiday dinners are something I look forward to every year, and the best way to keep it stress-free is to plan ahead of time.

    My list of side dishes for prime rib is actually a personal list I reference every year, and this year I thought it’s about time I share it with you!

    You will find everything you need for an amazing roast beef dinner on this list, from everyone’s favorite mashed potatoes, to green bean almondine and more. Enjoy!

    rib roast ingredients

    What goes with a prime rib dinner?

    • Potatoes (scalloped, mashed, or roasted)
    • Roasted vegetables
    • Light salads
    • Holiday casseroles
    • Bread rolls or popovers

    When serving a prime rib dinner, what you want to consider is what flavors will emphasize the roast and not overpower it. Traditional holiday sides like green bean casserole, creamed corn casserole, and mashed potatoes make perfect side dishes for prime rib.

    You also want something to soak up the drippings and gravy… and nothing could be better for that than Yorkshire pudding or bread rolls!

    What sauce do you serve with prime rib?
