The Reason Nobody Remembers the Sides.
The rib rides high along the steer's back, doing almost no work and collecting marbling the entire time the animal is on feed. Leave that section whole, bones in, and you have the roast that's anchored Christmas tables for a couple hundred years — because a prime rib is just ribeyes that haven't been separated yet.
Months on a high-energy ration is what puts the marbling in a show-finished rib, and marbling is the whole point of this roast. It bastes itself from the inside while it cooks. You mostly just need to not get in the way.
One 2–3 bone standing rib roast, approximately 6.5 pounds. Feeds 6–8. Vacuum-sealed.
Suggested preparation: Salt it generously the night before — the whole surface, no fear. Roast low at 250°F until it hits 120°F inside, rest it 30 minutes, then blast at 500°F for the crust. Carve at the table. You didn't do all that to carve in the kitchen.
