What is the ribeye roast?
The Ribeye Roast, also known as Prime Rib Roast, Boneless Rib Roast, or (arguably) the most elite beef roast, comes from the Rib Primal area of the cow, situated in the rib portion between the chuck (shoulder) and loin. Known for its generous marbling and thus tender texture, this cut is a classic for holiday roasts, as it yields marvelously rich and buttery flavor. The ribeye roast, which is made up of seven ribs, can also be used to cut ribeye steaks before cooking. After cooking, the pieces of meat that are cut from the rib roast are then known as prime rib.
