The upper part of the forequarter. Amazing when roasted whole!
Mark the point where you are going to separate the prime rib from the chuck, between the 5th and 6th ribs.
Always plan your cut. Knowing your next move will result in a clean, perfect cut.
Begin the cut with the knife.
Finish separating the rib from the chuck with the saw, sawing through the feather bones.
View from the feather-bone side, with the prime rib on the right and the upper chuck section on the left.
