Fool-Proof Prime Rib Every Time! This is a Christmas tradition in my family. However, this WILL set off your smoke alarm! The first time I served it to my in-laws, my father-in-law wanted to know if McDonald's was open on Christmas! He LOVED it!

This reminds me of something my kids used to say when I was learning to cook. "Dinner will be ready when the smoke alarm sounds". Especialy of you miss the part about turning the oven off.
