What's the average price per pound on a standing rib roast?

$5.99/lb at albertson's if you spend $20. Bought one last night and it looks decent.

Around 6 lbs with 2 bones. I think it was $36.

Alright, so I'll guess that mine was a 12 pounder, which is $7.50 a lb. Does this sound like a choice or prime rate?

Better be prime prime at that price. How did you not know? Drunk?

Never bought this cut of meat before. Was shocked when the total came to that, but for some reason or another, paid for it anyways.

Fresh Market has them for $6.99/lb

As far as not knowing what kind of meat it was, when I walked up to the counter, the tray of standing rib roasts was empty so I didn't look closer at any of the details on the sign like. The guy standing behind the counter asked if he could help me, and I asked him if he had any more in the back. He actually had one already sitting on the scale in front of me that I guess he was getting ready to put in the display. It looked about the same size as other meats I had smoked in the past for the same amount of people + leftovers, so I just told him to wrap that up for me. The last piece of meat that size I got was a cross rib roast and I think I paid $20 for a 12 pounder. I figured I'd get a $40 bill or something along those lines. Definitely not $90. That's why I was wondering if it might have been a higher grade.

i paid $10/lb for prime from a friend in the food business. i would imagine prime is probably $13-15/lb

just a guess tho.

cooking one now......i would not suggest smoking a standing rib roast.

Next time you go to that butcher, ask for the use of KY and a kiss afterwards.

What would you suggest? The common theme I've gotten so far is oil, salt, pepper & garlic.

you certainly could smoke it....just dont use too much wood.....

i season with dry rub, sear outside of the roast, cook in oven at 325 for 16 min/lb for center to be a little shy of medium rare......rare-med rare you could say.
