The standing rib roast is a large, bone-in roast taken from the same section as the ribeye steak, comprising up to 7 rib bones. It is prized for its dramatic presentation, deep marbling, and rich flavor. Slow-roasted to develop a crust and then rested, it is considered one of the finest roasting cuts available.
