Rib Roast
The Rib Roast is one of the most prestigious and iconic cuts of beef. Taken from the rib section, it combines natural tenderness with generous marbling, giving it a buttery texture and rich, full flavor. The ribeye muscle itself contains two prized parts: the cap, often used for Surprise Steak, and the center fillet, used for Filet Mignon. Slow roasting the whole rib roast allows it to develop a beautiful crust while staying juicy inside, making it perfect for carving at the table and impressing guests.
