National Prime Rib Day 2021: Ways To Enjoy The 'King of Meats'

Food-centered holidays are a great excuse to enjoy delicious meals. National Prime Rib Day is celebrated annually on April 27 to recognize and enjoy what National Day Calendar noted to have been called the "King of Meats."

It's a holiday where the spotlight is on prized cuts of beef. One of the eight prime cuts of beef, prime rib is often part of meals during special occasions, for instance on holidays such as Christmas or Easter.

While it's unclear when and where prime rib originated, it's believed to have come into existence in Australia, the U.S., U.K. and Canada during the Industrial Revolution, National Today said. And today, many restaurants boast their own special ways of cooking it. Some have even perfected their recipe and maintained it for many years.
