What should I do if I bought prime rib roast too early?

Seasoned Advice Asked on June 27, 2021

I have just purchased my Christmas prime rib from Costco (boneless). We are 13 days away from Christmas, so I think I bought it too early. Should I freeze it or dry age it on a rack in the coldest part of the fridge with salt and pepper crust?

Thanks!

One Answer

Typical refrigerator temperature is a bit too cold for true dry aging. I don't think you will perceive much of a difference, even under ideal conditions, in only two weeks. So, for me, the decision is based on whether or not I want a prime rib taking up prime real estate in my refrigerator. I would freeze until a couple of days before your meal.
