Prime rib costs HOW much?!

So this just came in the mail from our local ShopRite supermarket:

Dewesq55 removing the bone reduces cook time and promotes more even heat distribution. I remove the bones and cook them on the side.

Wow, $5.99/# for CAB rib roast is a fantastic price!

Was waiting for these to go on sale for my cousin. When they go on sale, I pick up a few racks. I tell the meat person I want a 7 racker and tell em to trim em. They will also cut out the bone if wanted and tie em on or tie the hunk o meat if wanted. I’m one of the lucky ones.

Every Christmas I buy the biggest Prime Rib I can find at Costco. Bought one today that was just shy of 18 pounds. I will cut off a roast for Christmas and then cut the rest into steaks and freeze. The initial cost can be a bit shocking, but I feel better about it every time I pull one of those Prime steaks out of the freezer throughout the next several months.

I just picked up 5-6 pounds of standing rib roast aka prime rib at Fresh Market on sale for 7.99 a pound. It was a 3 bone one, with the ribs cut off and tied back on. It was only choice, but looked really good, so I took a $45 gamble on it. Also got a 10 pound prime NY strip that I may roast in the same fashion, or cut into steaks.

Question - it’s the 14th. The prime rib is wrapped in butcher paper. Should I vacuum seal, freeze, and thaw out again if I plan to cook on the 24th or 25th? The butcher recommended using within 3 days... unlike the strip loin, this is not in cryovac...

So...……………. is a tomahawk a prime rib?

[JCGrill]

I do one of those about twice a year, usually 4 or 5 pounds. Usually do something akin to what Meathead describes on the free side. The jus is a must. Worth every penny.

I paid 6.99 per pound for Angus rib roast today. That was about half the non sale price.

Today Aldi's was advertising choice "bone in rib roasts" for $6.99/lb. They didn't have any in the case.
