Is Prime Rib a Good Cut of Meat
First, a quick anatomy lesson (don’t worry, no pop quiz). Prime rib comes from the rib primal, which is the section between the chuck and the loin. Imagine a cow doing a sit-up—this is the part that gets a nice, gentle workout.
This area is naturally well-marbled with fat. And fat, my friends, is flavor’s best friend. It’s what makes the meat juicy, tender, and taste like a hug from a steak-loving angel.
Fun fact: a “prime rib” roast usually includes ribs 6 through 12. That’s a lot of rib, which means a lot of room for leftovers—which we’ll call “breakfast” and “second breakfast.”
