The king of roasts, and the centerpiece of many a memorable holiday meal. This is the entire piece from which rib-eye steaks are cut, with the chine removed for easier carving into prime rib servings. The meat is so tasty we recommend minimal seasoning—just a rub of salt and pepper on the outside. Choose the size that matches your guest list—but be generous, so you'll have leftovers for your own enjoyment.
