standing rib roast

Bone-in beef showpiece

A standing rib roast is a cut of beef from the rib section, roasted with the rib bones attached and standing upright.

The bones act as a natural rack during cooking and add flavor.

It's a premium cut, often served at holiday meals and special occasions.

When sliced, individual portions become rib eye steaks.

Also called prime rib, though technically prime rib refers specifically to USDA Prime grade.
