One of the roast’s outer edges is bordered by the bones. The ends of the bones stick out of the meat. Use them as leverage while cutting since they won’t rest flat against the cutting board. [4] Position the roast on a smooth surface that you don’t mind getting a little messy. The roast is easier to carve the more stable the surface is.
- 2 Cut vertically along the bones using a carving knife. With your free hand, grasp the ends of the bones. Holding the roast still, cut into the meat as closely as you can to the contour of the bones. The bones end about halfway through the roast. [5] Use a sharp knife that is longer than the roast’s width for a clean cut. You can remove all of the bones at once with a good carving knife. Lift the bones out of the roast as you get close to the bottom. It is simpler to follow the bones when the roast is positioned on its end.
- 3 Fold the bones back to finish removing them. Lay the roast flat on the cutting board after turning it over. As if opening a door, pull the bones up toward you. Locate the ends of the bones that are visible, then cut through the meat there to extract them all at once. When you’re finished with the bones, dispose of them because they aren’t edible. [6] The bones typically still contain some meat. If you prefer, remove the meat by picking it off, or think about saving the bones for another purpose, like making stock.

Carving the Meat
- If you want to get rid of the fat, step one is to carve it off. Roast it with the fat side facing up. The roast has been cooked, and the fat appears white and slightly browned. Pin the roast in place with a carving fork or the palm of your hand to remove the fat cap. After that, cut the roast horizontally by sliding your knife beneath the fat. [7] Set up the carving knife so that it completely cuts through the fat. Remove as much as possible in one go. If there is any fat left, carefully make a second pass with the knife to remove it. If you don’t want to, you are not required to remove the fat. Some people prefer leaving the fat on. If you have visitors, leave the fat on so they can choose whether to eat it or not.
- 2 Determine the grain’s direction so you can cut across it. The muscle fibers in the roast can be seen if you look at it closely; they resemble thin lines. Turn the roast so you can cut across the fibers. Cutting against the grain reduces the fibers, producing a steak of higher quality. [8] Cutting against the grain makes the roast chewier than usual. Before cutting into a standing rib roast, look for the grain.
- 3 Slice the roast into pieces no thicker than one inch (2 5 cm) thick. Cut the roast vertically, beginning at the end, to separate the meat. Place the roast underneath the middle of your carving knife to ensure clean cuts. Move your knife through the meat as little as possible. Avoiding a sawing motion, which you can achieve with a sharp knife and two or three long strokes per slice, is the key. [9] Standing roast slices must be at least 12 in. 3 cm). Although thicker slices are more chewy than thinner ones, some people prefer to eat more meat per bite.
