"Prime Rib" question...

[EvergreenGal]

Okay...I have looked online and found that "bife ancho" can mean 3 cuts of meat...one being prime rib....I need to know if there is a specific name or pharse to ask for just prime rib??

Thanks in advance for any help!!

the best thing to do is not worry about what the cuts are called in the US. it's not just that the cuts have different names here, it's that they are different cuts. For example, people try to say that lomo is filet mignon, but it's not- it's lomo! haha. for some tips, lomo, vacio and bife de chorizo are all tasty, for soup osobuco is delicious and really cheap (like 3 pesos at the supermercado), but my personal favorite is tira de asado. they might not be texas-style ribs, but they sure are delicious!

buen provecho!

Yes, I understand that a lot of the cuts are different than in the states...I want to prepare a prime rib roast for a few friends...I have seen what looks similar to a prime rib roast here...I just want to be sure I am asking for the correct item and/or looking for the correct cut in a grocery store.

The most accurate would be Lomo, bife de lomo, bife de costilla

Also, porterhouse and prime rib are usually not offered the same way as in other countries but are instead parts of other cuts. However, due to the increase in demand and change of tastes these days, those specific cuts are becoming more popular in Argentinean restaurants. If some of this sounds confusing, don’t worry. More will be explained later.

Okay…I am looking to do a prime rib for Christmas…How do I ask a butcher for one? You say that “bife ancho” is part prime rib…do I just get a larger cut of this?
Thanks for any and all suggestions!

Hi Deborah,

Just ask for bife ancho con tapa or if you want it with bones then bife ancho con hueso. Make sure to tell them that you want a large chunk right away or else they might just start slicing steaks immediately after.

So you know...my friends got the "Prime Rib" and it was wonderful... I did a fresh rosemary, olive oil, fresh ground salt and pepper wet rub for it and put it in my Nesco Roaster....perfect!! I even had horseradish sauce I had brought from the states last year...did Yorkshire Pudding...my Grandmother's recipe.....nice au jus for it. Squash w/ brown sugar and butter....and baked a French apple tart for dessert....yum!!!

**with the left over beef...made a fantastic veggie beef soup! Bones for stock and then to the neigbors dog! Nothing was wasted!!
