If you've printed out a recipe for some slow-roasted prime rib roast, here's the most important "secret" you need to know to get the most satisfying bite: pick the right cut of meat. Not everything that the butcher hands you when you ask for a "cut I can make prime rib with" is the best. Instead, be specific. Ask for bone-in with the rib cap left intact.
It's the centerpiece that all other cuts of meat look up to and ultimately aspire to be. When you see it on a restaurant menu - especially if it's a tableside presentation - you know you're in for an absolute treat. So what if you're ready to tackle the ultimate red meat cooking challenge and make a prime rib at home?
It's essentially three steaks together that haven't been separated. You might call it a prime rib roast at that point. They have even offered a 160 ounce extreme cut before. That's too much steak for the average person, so if you want something more manageable yet still intense, you may want to try ordering a tomahawk steak at your local Texas Roadhouse.
