What Is Prime Rib?
Prime rib is synonymous with holiday meals and celebrations. The Snake River Farms boneless prime rib roast is an ideal candidate for any special occasion. Cut from the rib region that’s renowned for superior tenderness and generous marbling, prime rib is the roast form of a ribeye steak.
Average weight: 5 lbs.
This is a natural product, and the actual weight may vary by +/- .5 pound.
The USDA separates domestic beef into eight grades, based on intramuscular fat or marbling, and other qualities like tenderness, juiciness, and flavor. The two highest grades are Prime and Choice. Prime is the top grade on the USDA scale and features an abundant amount of marbling.
Snake River Farms produces beef that measures above the USDA scores. To grade these higher levels of marbling and quality, we utilize the 12-point BMS (Beef Marbling Score or Beef Marbling Standard) from the Japanese Meat Grading Association (JMGA).
SRF Black Label™ and SRF Gold Label™ both score above USDA Prime, while SRF Silver Label™ marbling is similar to USDA Prime.
SRF Silver Label™ is a BMS of 4 to 5 with similar marbling to USDA Prime grade beef.
SRF Black Label™ is a BMS of 6 to 8 with significantly more marbling than USDA Prime grade beef.
SRF Gold Label™ registers a BMS of 9 or higher and contain the highest level of marbling we offer.
Thaw Completely All Snake River Farms roasts ship frozen to maintain optimal quality. Before cooking your roast, we recommend completely thawing it in the refrigerator. A completely frozen roast can take several days to thaw, so plan ahead.
Reduce the Chill Remove the prime rib from the fridge one to two hours before it is scheduled to go in the oven. Allow it to come to room temperature. This will help the roast cook evenly.
Salt the Night Before A tip used by many restaurants is to liberally season a roast on all sides the night before it is scheduled to cook. Leave the roast uncovered in the fridge overnight. The roast may appear dried out, but it will actually increase the moisture in the prime rib when finished. The dry exterior produces an outside crust that adds texture and flavor.
Rest Rest your prime rib for 20 to 30 minutes after it’s pulled from the oven. This allows time for the temperature to rise and equalize throughout the roast. The resting time allows the natural juices to be reabsorbed instead of running out onto your cutting board.
A prime rib or rib roast is obtained from the rib primal and is located between the chuck and loin primals. Prime ribs are cut from the seven bone section of the rib primal from ribs number six to twelve. Our small boneless prime ribs are about five pounds and are the length of three ribs. Our large prime rib has the length of four ribs.
A prime rib has three major muscles. Thelongissimus dorsi, or large center eye, thecomplexus, a smaller side muscle which is not always present depending on which part of the primal the roast is cut, and thespinalis dorsi, also called the cap of ribyeye or deckle. The muscles of the ribeye are held together with tender sinew with large swaths of rich fat between them.
Prime ribs and ribeye steaks are cut from the same subprimal group of muscles. The different preparation methods account for the subtle taste difference. In a pinch, a prime rib can be cut into a plate of beautiful ribeye steaks.

The SRF Black Label grades between a BMS 6 to 8, and the Gold Label is the highest marbled with a BMS score at 9+. Read about the difference.
