Leftover Prime Rib Pasta in White Wine Cream Sauce

Prime Rib Pasta

My family enjoys a large Prime Rib for the holidays every year, but we are always afraid of running out so we order too much every single time. Despite the guys doing their best to eat as much as humanly possible along with the cheesy potatoes and Pomegranate Apple Salad, we are still left with some prime rib at the end of the night. This prime rib pasta is the perfect way to enjoy a quick weeknight dinner with the leftover ribeye roast.

How to cook leftover Prime Rib?

When you are cooking your ribeye roast, aka Prime Rib, you should always aim for medium rare. We use this technique for Garlic Butter Prime Rib where we cook the meat for 4-5 minutes per pound at 500°F, turn the oven off and don’t touch it for 2 hours.

This prime rib recipe leaves you with the most tender and flavorful medium-rare Prime Rib. We’ve done this more than five years and have had success every single time!

If you cooked your Prime Rib to medium rare or rare perfection , it will be amazing tossed in pasta with a creamy white wine sauce! You just want to add the meat at the end of the cooking process, just so it heats it through a bit. If you cook it too long, you will end up with well done Prime Rib.

If you overcooked your prime rib you will want to slow cook it to help tenderize the meat. This Beef Barley Soup with Prime Rib would be a great recipe in this situation!

Season it with some salt and pepper and cook in your skillet until medium rare. Remove the steak and allow it to rest. Add the onions and garlic and the white wine will deglaze the pan and add even more bits of flavor from the cooked steak.

Steak and Pasta in White Wine Cream Sauce

While it might seem easier to just toss some pasta with a jar of Alfredo sauce and your leftover Prime Rib, there is no excuse not to make this easy white wine cream sauce. Not only is it a light and delicious compliment to the pasta and steak, but it’s the perfect excuse to crack open a bottle of your favorite white wine!

Whatever you do, avoid the “cooking wine” in the grocery store. There isn’t anything good coming from those bottles next to the vinegars. If you aren’t a wine drinker, make a quick trip to the liquor store and grab a four pack of mini bottles of wine.
