Standing Rib Roast vs. Prime Rib?

[Papa Deuce]

They are really the same thing, aren't they?

 

[GeorgeG]

I'm not sure. I would enjoy either, though. What time is dinner?

 

[BillSears]

I thought officially that Prime Rib had to be rated prime. A standing rib roast can be choice or select.

BTW.... I had SCRAPPLE with breakfast this morning!

Yup. "Prime" is the grade, "rib roast" is the cut.

 

[Papa Deuce]

So, except for the actual rating they are the same... OK.... then a prime rib recipe can use a standing rib roast.... That is what I really needed to know, as my wife bought a standing rib roast for Christmas and told me that I am in charge of makinf something good out of it.

I don't cook much beef other than brisket and ground beef, and maybe the occasional London Broil.

I've used Tyler Florence's recipe, from the Food Network.
It was really good!

I love prime rib

We're having rib roast for Christmas dinner. I can't wait.

I am not sure but we have it every year, and last year I used Jenny's recipe. EVERYONE was crazy about it. If they could have just eaten the outside, they would have been happy. Anyway, when you pick it up, get the one with the bone and have the butcher at the supermarket, etc remove it and tie it to the bone so you roast both together.

Is this the one where you mix up olive oil with kosher salt, pepper and a bunch of spices and then rub the whole roast?

If so, DH always uses this one and it is AMAZING good!

that is my understanding also, In fact I was watching something on the Food Network and I believe he said that unless you owned a restuarant or personally knew a butcher that you would not get Prime Rib but would get standing rid.

Yes, horseradish, dijon mustard, etc.

The USDA definition of "prime rib" explicitly states that it doesn't need to be graded "prime":

REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADING TERMS ON MEAT PRODUCT LABELING
MGC Instruction 107

...

6. Cooked beef items identified as “Beef Prime Rib” or “Prime Rib of Beef” are not required to be derived from carcasses graded USDA Prime.

Really stupid, if you ask me, but that's the way it is.

That is the one I plan to use.

Are we talkin' kosher salt, horseradish, rosemary and olive oil? I saw his show the other night and have my standing rib roast and my ingredients ready. It looked marvelous!!! Do you think he was really going to eat that whole piece he cut for himself? lol! 'You can always diet in January!' funny!
Seems I left out the Dijon! Looks like Tyler's rib roast will be enjoyed throughout the country.

Actually, I was wrong... I tried that one once... it calls for literally about 10x the salt I would like to use. Maybe it would be good with 1/10th of the salt.

I meant the Paula Deen one.... where you use like 3 ingredients, cook it for about an hour, and let it sit in the oven for a few hours before serving.

PD I made the Paula dean one last year and it was good yummy.

I was going to try that Tyler Florence one this year. It seemed easy.

(And I was thinking the difference was that a prime rib is boneless no?)

when cut away from the rib?

Really, I say make sure you cut WAAAAAY back on the salt in his recipe. Even on the Food Network site, IIRC, that was the number one complaint.... I didn't listen, and I should have.
