I love a good ribeye steak but never was much of a fan of the prime rib roast. Try getting your hands on picanha. You get the flavor from the fat cap which I cut off after cooking. It's really flavorful and tender and much cheaper. I usually cook tri tip because it's lean and it tastes great. Beef tenderloin is my go to for holidays/occasions because everyone always likes it.
I don't get the gripes people have with beef tenderloin not having flavor and leaner cuts being too tough. You can always produce flavor and make tougher cuts tender by knowing what you're doing.
Picanha may be labeled as coulotte in some places but they are the same cut. Try cutting your picanha in thirds and roll each cut with the fat cap in the center, you will probably have to trim the fat cap a little, then put a stake through them to hold them together. If you have a rotisserie cook it that way. You can then shave off the outside as it cooks and keep returning it the rotisserie. It is a fantastic cut.
I usually do my prime rib in the sous vide for 8 hours then roast it or grill it crust up the outside. If you do not have a sous vide the low and slow is the best method, finishing it on high heat as mentioned earlier.
