Prime Rib Roast with Red-Wine SauceJohn Kernick

Big and beefy, this luscious cut of meat definitely has a celebratory presence. Here it partners with porcini mushrooms, which are both rubbed on the roast and incorporated into the sauce. For the best flavor, look for well-marbled meat.

Cooks' notes:

·Sauce can be made 2 days ahead and cooled completely, uncovered, then chilled, covered. Reheat before using.
·Stainless steel, glass, and enameled cast iron are nonreactive; avoid pure aluminum and uncoated iron, which can impart an unpleasant taste and color to recipes with acidic ingredients.
