Bone-In Rib Roast, Roast-Ready, Special

Rib roasts and ribeye steaks are some of the most desirable cuts of the whole animal. They are cut from the rib primal and are known for their rich flavor and soft texture. You can find rib roasts and ribeye steaks in any butcher shop or grocery store. Rib roasts contain a variety of muscles including the longissimus dorsi ("eye" of the ribeye), the complexes, the spinalis dorsi (ribeye "cap"), and the multifidus dorsi, and the longissimus costarum (the "lip" of the ribeye). A bone-in rib roast will generally include only the rib bones excluding the chine and feather bones. In this example the cap from the plate is removed, allowing the fat that lies underneath to be trimmed away. The fat cap is then reattached to the roast where the feather bones used to be.
