Rib Roast

A Prime Rib Roast is also often referred to as “Standing Rib Roast.” It is cut from the rib section which is one if the eight primal cuts of beef and is comprised of ribs 6 through 12 and a standing Prime Rib Roast can be 2 to 7 ribs. Once roasted to the desired temperature, it is sliced into portions which are called “Prime Rib”.

It is interesting to note that a slice of uncooked prime rib roast is really a “rib steak” which includes the “rib eye” portion.
