I see a Prime Rib Throwdown in my future!
« Reply #-1 on: April 17, 2018, 05:12:44 PM »
Around here Prime ribs are really hard to come across, only time I've seen them are Christmas and Easter.  Was at wallyworld Saturday and they had two left, I was hoping they were marked down, but thought well at $8.97/lb I better get one, still a good price for Prime rib so in the cart it went.
So today, I had to make an unplanned visit back to wallyworld and just "happened" to pass by the meat section and low & behold, the other prime rib was still there with the yellow sticker on it.  $4.25/lb.  How could anyone pass that up??? 

Labeled choice grade so technically not "prime rib" I guess, but this is the same brand in the cryovac package that I purchased last year for my first prime rib and it was fantastic on the keg.

So one went in the freezer and the other will be fixed this weekend.  Just salt, pepper and granulated garlic on the one I fixed last year, I think I'll try a rub on one of these, maybe rotisserie, and later on the one in the freezer will do something different.  Tasty fun!!

Well, actually it is. The name "prime rib" to describe a standing rib roast (the "prime" cut of beef) predates the grading system so the USDA doesn't require it (or, by extension, the boneless version) to be derived from Prime grade beef.
