Prime Rib

This where you get that delectable prime rib (aka standing rib roast), which is traditionally prepared by slow roasting the meat with the bone in. Although restaurants serve it in steak form, it's most likely cut from the cooked roast and typically more expensive because restaurants often use prime beef. Don't be fooled by the "prime" in its name, however. It doesn't automatically mean that the beef is USDA prime meat, especially when sold in grocery stores. Good prime rib is very tender, moist and flavorful, and it's best served with a pan sauce made from its juices. Also good to know: prime rib is traditionally cooked to medium-rare, so don't be put off by its reddish-pink hue—it's perfectly safe to eat!
