    The Cut:

    The Prime Rib Roast
    • Cut from the primal rib section
    • Located along the upper back between ribs 6-12
    • Harvested from the least worked portion of the back
    • A substantial and prestigious cut per animal
    • Represents approximately 10% of total beef yield


    What Makes It Special
    • The rib muscles support minimal movement
    • Protected by the rib cage throughout life
    • Results in exceptional tenderness with robust flavor
    • Intensive marbling creates signature buttery texture
    • Contains the prized "eye" of the rib


    Ranch Brand Standards
    • Cut precisely to include 2-7 ribs
    • Must be taken from the posterior end of the rib primal
    • Selected primarily from Prime and upper Choice grades
    • Aged minimum 21 days for optimal flavor development

    FAQ's

    How long does a Prime Rib Roasts keep in the freezer?

    Prime Rib Roasts can last in the freezer for:

    • 4-12 months for best quality
    • Up to 12 months is optimal for larger cuts
    • Technically safe indefinitely if kept consistently at 0°F (-18°C)

    For best results:

    • Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, then freezer paper or heavy-duty foil
    • Remove as much air as possible
    • Label with date of freezing
    • Store at consistent temperature
    • Place newer items behind older ones

    While the roast remains safe beyond 12 months if properly frozen, you may notice:

    • Freezer burn
    • Tougher texture
    • Less flavor
    • Drier meat

    To check if a frozen roast is still good:

    • Look for ice crystals (normal) vs. grayish-brown leathery spots (freezer burn)
    • Check for any strong off-odors after thawing
    • Ensure packaging isn't torn or damaged
