Should you freeze the prime rib if its going to be 5 days before cook it?

It is generally not recommended to freeze prime rib for five days before cooking it, as freezing and thawing can affect the meat's tenderness and flavor. If the prime rib is fresh, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days before cooking. For longer storage, it is best to vacuum-seal and freeze the prime rib for up to three months. When the time comes to cook the prime rib, it should be thawed slowly in the refrigerator for about 24 hours before cooking.
