Prime rib claims center stage during holiday season for a very good reason. It is the king of beef cuts. A bone-in prime rib roast is also called a standing rib roast, because you position the roast majestically on its rib bones in the roasting pan to cook it. Beautifully marbled with fat, this roast is rich, juicy, and tender—a feast for the eyes and the belly. It’s also very easy to cook. You just start it in the oven at a high temperature to get good browning on the outside of the roast. Then, cook it at a lower temperature to make sure the meat in the center doesn’t get overcooked.

There’s usually something for everyone with this roast. The ends are well done for those who can’t tolerate pink. The center should be a vibrant pink for those of us who must have our beef on the rare side. How Many People Does Prime Rib Roast Serve?

As for estimating how big a roast you’ll need, the butchers I’ve talked to say to estimate 2 people for every rib. In my experience, that’s a LOT of meat! For the roasts we get, and given that we are serving a lot of food in addition to the roast, 3 people per rib is fine. If you want to err on the generous side with plenty of leftovers, aim for 2 people per rib. What Grade of Meat is Prime Rib? Note that just because you are ordering a “prime” rib, it doesn’t mean that you are getting USDA Prime. Because of high cost and fewer sources over the past decade or two, USDA Prime Grade prime rib has been replaced by most markets with USDA Choice Grade prime rib roast.
