USDA Choice whole beef rib roast, also known as a standing rib roast, consists of ribs 6-12 from the primal rib section. This premium bone-in roast is vacuum-sealed to preserve freshness and typically weighs 14-20 pounds when sold as a complete 7-bone roast. The roast features excellent marbling throughout the eye muscle, a flavorful spinalis dorsi (ribeye cap) layer, and a protective fat cap that bastes the meat during cooking and crisps beautifully when exposed to high heat.

This versatile cut can be roasted whole for an impressive holiday centerpiece or portioned into smaller 2-, 3-, 4-, or 5-rib roasts. The bones insulate the meat during cooking to prevent overcooking and add rich flavor from the marrow. After cooking, the bones easily separate and make a delicious treat. USDA Choice grade beef offers excellent marbling, tenderness, and flavor at a great value. Each bone typically serves two people generously. The roast can also be cut into individual bone-in ribeye steaks for grilling.
