Best Prime Rib In Pittsburgh
Sometimes you would like something a little more tender than your average steak. Prime rib, or standing rib roast, is a great option. This cut of beef contains a good deal of marbling throughout, which allows for a very tender and juicy dining experience. Because it is nearly as tender as roast beef, it makes an excellent sandwich and also a great stand-alone entree. If you are in the mood for some prime rib, there are some great restaurants in Pittsburgh that serve this dish. Here are some of the best places to enjoy prime rib in Pittsburgh.
