Are you a big meat eater? If so, you'll likely enjoy a good prime rib steak. It's a cut of beef from the cow's rib section that is often slow-roasted. You can enjoy its tender, juicy flavor in the best way possible when you know how to order it. Here are a few things to look for.

Doneness

How do you like your meat cooked? The degrees of doneness you could order a steak in are rare, medium rare, medium, medium well, or well. Steak doneness is the internal temperature as well as the color of the meat. The juiciness level and texture will also be affected by doneness. If you enjoy sinking your teeth into the most tender, moist cut possible, you'll likely want to order a rare or medium-rare steak. However, many people think a rare steak tastes too raw. A well-done steak might be a little drier in comparison, but it'll also be at a safer temperature to eat.

Cut

The cut of your steak also matters when it comes to your enjoyment. As previously mentioned, a prime rib steak comes from the ribs of a cow. Prime rib is an extremely popular choice, but there are other cuts of steak as well that are different in terms of tenderness and fat content. A sirloin, for example, comes from the cow's back. That means there isn't much fat, but it has a great flavor when cooked well.

Taste Preference

Ultimately, your personal preference is what matters most. Opt for a rare or medium rare prime rib steak when you want a tender, juicy meal. If you're worried about food safety, go for a medium well or well-done one. If they offer an option of blackened or grilled, a blackened prime rib will have more seasoning and a smokey flavor while grilled brings out the flavor of the steak itself. If you're not sure what you like yet, try out different options!
