First choose whether you want to prepare boneless or bone-in prime rib, then select the grade of beef.

Choice

Sl

Bone-in tends to be the preferred choice as it allows the beef to be more flavorful, but boneless is a great option and easier to carve.

Bone-in or Boneless

Sl

Rib roast comes in three grades: USDA Prime, USDA Choice, and Select.

Grades

Sl

- The best variety of rib roast is USDA Prime. It is at the top percentage and has marbling all throughout. - USDA Choice is one grade down, with less marbling, but is a high-quality choice that is widely available. – Finally, Select is a more budget-friendly, which varies in marbling but will be less than the two grades above it.

Grades

After selecting the grade, in choosing the quality of beef: whether you want the cut of beef from the loin end or the chuck end.

Chuck or Loin End?

Sl

– The chuck end contains more connective and fatty tissue than the loin end, which some people prefer for the flavor the fat gives the beef. – The loin end contains less connective and fatty tissue and features leaner beef, and is  considered to be more desirable for its large, tender rib-eye muscle.
