Description
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). Rib roasts can be prepared many different ways. A lip-off boneless rib roast is a rib roast that excludes the "lip" of the ribeye and all bones. This cut can be roasted whole or further portioned into lip-off rib eye steaks.
