The cut that comes from the rib section of beef is Prime rib (A). Chuck, Flank steak, and Skirt steak come from other parts of the cow such as the shoulder, abdominal muscles, and diaphragm muscles, respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
The cuts that come from the rib section of beef include A) Prime rib. The other options you’ve mentioned, such as B) Chuck, C) Flank steak, and D) Skirt steak, are derived from different parts of the cow. Specifically, the 'chuck' is from the shoulder area, the 'flank' steak is from the abdominal muscles, and the 'skirt' steak is from the diaphragm muscles.
The rib section is known for providing some of the most tender and flavorful cuts of beef. When you hear about 'ribeye' steaks or 'prime rib', these are the types of cuts that are being referred to. The term 'prime' in prime rib usually refers to the quality of the meat, based on USDA grading, though the cut itself is from the rib section regardless of the grade.
