During the Holidays time, lots of families are cooking Rib Roast of Beef. Rib Roast is quite expensive. Usually a Rib Roast of 8 Ribs (with Bones) could cost about $180 to $200.00 It does make a great meal for 10-12 people. The Butcher will always trim the fat and seperate the Bones but Tie it together with the roast for Flavor. When your roast is done, you would normally carve the roast and serve your guest and keep the Bones for later soups and stews. I have made this recipe for Haleem from the Ribs Bones and the meat around the bones.
