Prime rib roasts can be large enough to feed a crowd

Nice prime rib roasts has been a traditional favorite in homes when families gather together for a special meal. The name prime rib means that it comes from the beef rib section, which contains the most connective tissue, and the word "prime" is generally the top or highest grade of meat and contains the most marbling effect, both of which make it the most juicy and tender meat cuts. Because beef rib roasts are more tender, "dry heat" roasting is preferred. This means you do not cover or add liquid, which is called "moist heat" cooking, used to tenderize tougher cuts of meat. This preserves the full rich flavor of the meat without reducing it with water.

Prime rib roasts can be cut in different sizes to suit the needs of the diners gathering. Banquets are well known to provide a chef carving right off a very large roast as you select from the well-done or rare choice you may make. Smaller roasts can be served on a platter with vegetables that may have been roasted right with the meat. It can be carved at the table and served individually as required to satisfy the diners. Rarely is too much meat ever a problem as there are so many dishes that can be created from left over beef.
