standing rib

Bone-in beef roast

A standing rib is a beef roast cut from the rib section, typically ribs six through twelve, roasted upright with the bones forming a natural rack.

The same cut becomes prime rib when cooked: We ordered a standing rib roast for Christmas dinner.

The bones add flavor and make for dramatic presentation at the table.
