Why Prime Rib Is Always on the Menu in December

What is Prime Rib?

Prime rib is a cut of beef from the primal rib section of a cow. An entire prime rib has 6 ribs which are often sliced individually to make ribeye steaks. Prime rib, which is also commonly referred to as a “standing rib roast”, is often prepared for the holidays because of its tender texture, which comes from substantial marbling.
