Prime Rib

Use a small end rib roast, as it is much higher quality than the large end. The small end is a cut, not a size. It is more evenly marbled and has less fat and gristle. It sometimes is higher in cost, but worth it, and I can’t express this enough. Ask the butcher at the grocery store, as sometimes they keep these in the back. They look considerably different, and a decent butcher will respect your knowledge of the cut!
