Standing Rib Roast

disabledBGEWDE

Is a standing rib roast and a crown rib roast the same thing. I realize that either way it is the same cut of meat, but is it the same presentation?

BGEWDE,[p]I've never heard of Crown Rib Roast, heard a lot about Pork Crown Roast.
I've been out of the business for a few years though. Maybe if Rumrunner can put his fishing pole down long enough, he can give us both a professional answer.[p]CWM

Car Wash Mike ,
When I was in Vietnam in 1969, I bought a book that listed the Great Dinners from Life...circa 1969. The Crown Roast of pork was one of them.[p]I have smoked one a year since returning. We have tried all the fillers & settled on hot/spicy Italian sausage as our choice. This year, I had the Ranchers Gourmet Market make the 22 rib roast.[p]It was the best ever.[p]Stop by & see the pics.[p]Nessmuk

BGEWDE, the "Crown" Roast is NOT a beef standing rib, nor do they
make one out of beef for that matter. A "Crown Roast" is made out of
pork or lamb, most notable a pork loin. They are usually ordered for
festive occasions in which to be the center piece of the table, such as Xmas or New
Year's. The center is stuffed with mashed potato or a bread stuffing.[p]

Rumrunner,
I thought the same thing but my rep at Buckhead Beef in Atlanta has said that he can do a crown rib roast from beef. It is what the customer wanted and I ordered one. Now, when It comes in I will take multiple pictures of it and share them. [p]This stuff seems overwealming sometimes.

BGEWDE, I would like to see the pics.[p]Ok, it is technically possible to make a 'crown' type roast out of the beef rib. However, that sucka will weigh upward to 30 pounds or more! Not only that, beef is not as flexible as pork or lamb and would take a strong man to flex that beef rib back wards. [p]I'm also thinking that if you removed the bones from the rib and then cut the bones in half length wise, to make two set of ribs........you could take a boneless rib eye (say 3 or 4 lbs), lay it vertical and wrap the beef spareribs around it to make a 'semi' beef crown roast.[p]Yup, now I'm definitely curious

Rumrunner

BGEWDE, it's also possible they may be "frenching" the tail of the rib bones and calling it a "crown roast". Just a thought???

Rumrunner,[p]I have a few meat cutting skills left, my parents store was so small that we never had an order for Pork Crown Roast. Could you please tell me how to make one myself?
My thought was to start out with babybacks, pull off membrane. Cut off the a couple ribs and wrap around with the meat on the inside. Then stuff. Do you put anything on the bootom to keep stuffing in ect?[p]Thanks,[p]CWM

Rumrunner

Car Wash Mike, hard to explain without pics, but here is a link with a couple of pics and an explanation. You should be able to figure it out with no problem.

Rumrunner,[p]I have never prepared one, I always thought babybacks came into play. Like I said our store was so small.[p]The trick now is to find the prok loin with bones attached.[p]Thanks,[p]CWM[p]
