FWIW, we had prime rib occasionally when I was growing up, and ALWAYS
had Yorkshire Pudding with it. We didn't have it too often because the
meat was bloody expensive. (Today, a prime rib roast to feed 6 people
will set you back about $50.) It was for special occasions only. My
mum used to make it for Christmas dinner or New Years Day dinner. This
was back in the '60s. I've cooked it quite a number of times since
I've been married, more so in the last 15 years because we are retired
and have more money to blow on expensive food

You need the fat drippings from the prime rib roast to make the
Yorkshire Pudding - that's why they are made together. Other types of
roast beef don't have enough fat.
