Prime Rib
Is a boneless beef standing rib roast used for prime rib? If so, do you have a recipe? Thank you.
—Charles
Hi Charles,
Yes, a beef rib roast is usually used to create the dish called “prime rib” (which is really somewhat of a misnomer because most times the beef is not USDA-graded “prime” beef). But it is usually a rib roast with the bones, not boneless, that is used for prime rib. My Standing Rib Roast is probably the closest thing to what has traditionally been called “prime rib.”
You might also be interested in my Marinated Rib Roast, which uses a boned, rolled roast (ask your butcher to do this), and Peppered Beef Rib Roast (featured in this week’s newsletter), which calls for a boneless rib roast. I hope this clears things up for you!

Question
How do you make old-timey rolled dumplings? My mother-in-law made the best; she had a special bowl she mixed them up in (never really measuring), she knew where in the bowl to add the flour, etc., then she rolled them out thin on a brown grocery bag and let dry for a while, then dropped them in the hot broth. They were delicious!!!!!!
