"I tried this recipe for the first time in 2004. It was our Christmas dinner for our two daughters and one son-in-law, at the time. I was so nervous, the very first time to prepare an expensive cut of beef. Everyone was so quiet while eating dinner, I wasn't sure whether they liked it or not. My son-in-law (Swedish) leaned back in his chair after finishing his plate and said "Ufta" which means he was stuffed and then said the following "I don't know about the rest of you, but may we have this again next year?" It has been our Christmas dinner ever since and last year we added another son-in-law and this year he asked if we were having prime-rib again, as it was the best he had ever eaten.
