    Since September is Prime Rib Month, why not expand your cooking skills and learn more about this roast?

    A full prime rib (also known as a standing rib roast) consists of seven cow ribs, from shoulder to loin, which is about 15 pounds of beef. It’s considered enough to feed a group of 14 or more people—a serving of about two people per rib. If it has less than three ribs, it’s not considered a roast, but a steak instead.

It’s also often a choice during hall reservations made for large gatherings (remember The Wedding Singer? “Always the prime rib… make them eat the fish!”). Read more
