I tend to think of it more as a roast than a steak. I think the main difference is in the way it is cooked - a steak is cooked as an individual piece of meat, and prime rib is sliced from a hunk of cooked meat. According to Wikipedia,

Quote:

A standing rib roast is a cut of beef from the rib section, which is one of the eight primal cuts of beef. The entire rib section comprises ribs 6 through 12 of the animal; a standing rib roast can comprise anywhere from 2 to 7 ribs. It is given the name "standing" because it is most often roasted in a standing position, that is, with the ribs stacked vertically. An alternative is to cook with the bones on the bottom. A standing rib roast, if sliced when uncooked, would yield a number of rib eye steaks.

I was planning to cook some steak tomorrow. My cast iron pan was finally delivered after amazon took a month to get it back in stock. Can't wait!

Steak or roast... I don't care. Just put some on my plate with a nice horseradish cream on the side.
