The holidays are rib roast season. Roast it whole for the centerpiece everyone remembers, or slice it into thick bone-in ribeyes.

Roast It or Slice It
One cut, two ways to win the holidays.
Roast It Whole
Low first, hot last. A slow oven gets the inside rosy from edge to edge, and a quick blast of heat at the end builds the crust. After resting, lift off the rich, marbled cap and carve it separately so everyone gets a piece.
Slice Into Ribeyes
A rib roast is ribeyes before they’re cut. Slice a two-rib roast in half and you’re holding two extra-thick bone-in ribeyes. Portion it yourself for holiday dinners, gifting, or stocking the freezer.

How much to buy, and how many it feeds.
How big a roast do I need?
Plan about 1 lb per person bone-in, ½ lb boneless, and less for Wagyu, since it's richer. Want leftovers? Size up one.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4–6 | Three Bone (~6 lb) | Prime Rib Roast (~5 lb) | Wagyu Ribeye Roast (~3 lb) | A5 Prime Rib Roast (~3.75 lb) |
| 6–8 | Four Bone (~8 lb) | Prime Rib Roast (~5 lb) | Two Wagyu Ribeye Roasts | A5 Prime Rib Roast |
| 8–12 | Four Bone + Three Bone | Two Prime Rib Roasts | Two Wagyu Ribeye Roasts | A5 Prime Rib Roast |
| 12+ | Two Four Bone roasts | Two to three Prime Rib Roasts | Three Wagyu Ribeye Roasts | A5 Whole Rib Roast (~12 lb) |
Weights are approximate and vary by roast.
How much to buy
Plan on about a pound per person, or one rib for every two guests.
Salt ahead
Season a day or two early and leave it uncovered in the fridge. The salt works its way in, and the surface browns better.
Pull early
Take it out at 120–125°F for medium-rare and rest it 20–30 minutes. It will climb another 5–10°F while it rests.
