Prime rib, also known as a standing rib roast, is the undisputed crème de la crème when it comes to a large cut of beef. I remember going to the steakhouse with my family on prime rib night for special occasions and celebrations, savoring every bite of a slice of rosy, juicy meat with some tasty jus.
Prime rib isn’t something you can only eat at restaurants, and it’s actually the perfect cut for a holiday dinner or large dinner party. Where does it come from, what makes it so special, and why is it so darn expensive?
