  • An impressive cut of tender beef that feeds a crowd, prime rib is a perennially popular holiday centerpiece and dinner-party main course. But because nothing in life or butchery is simple, it can go by different names, depending on the caliber of the beef ...

Prime rib, also known as a standing rib roast, is a luxurious cut of beef that comes from the primal rib section of the cow, specifically from ribs six through twelve. This cut is prized for its rich marbling, which contributes to its tenderness and flavor. Typically, prime rib is roasted whole with the bone in, which helps to insulate the meat and keep it moist during cooking. The term "prime" can refer to the grade of the meat, but it's not necessary for the cut to be USDA Prime; it can also be Choice or Select. Prime rib is often served with au jus or horseradish sauce and is a centerpiece for special occasions due to its impressive size and succulent taste. Cooking methods vary, but slow roasting at a low temperature is common to achieve a perfect medium-rare center with a nicely seared crust.
