Where it comes from

Prime Rib: A bone-in rib roast consisting of the ribeye with the bone, cap (spinalis), and fat layer intact. Premium roasting cut — the classic holiday centerpiece. 'Prime' refers to the cut, not necessarily the USDA grade. (rib, Ribs 6-12, bone-in, with cap and eye). Ribeye: Highly marbled steak cut from the rib primal; bone-in or boneless retail cuts vary by market. (rib, upper rib / rib eye muscle). Striploin: Leaner than ribeye; the classic strip steak muscle running along the short loin. (loin, longissimus dorsi (short loin)). T Bone: A cross-section of the short loin that includes both the striploin and a portion of the tenderloin, separated by a T-shaped vertebra. Porterhouse is the same cut from further back, with a larger tenderloin section. (loin, Short loin cross-section, containing T-shaped vertebra).

In menus and butcher shops it is often discussed next to Ribeye, and Back Ribs.

Cooking methods

Typical methods include high-heat searing or grilling for steaks, resting before slicing, and cutting across the grain when the muscle is fibrous. Because this cut sits on the rib primal (Ribs 6-12, bone-in, with cap and eye), adjust time and temperature to thickness and marbling.
