The best cut of beef ribs comes from the lower, ventral, section, from the 6th through 10th rib, roughly the same cut as the St. Louis cut of pork ribs. It is called the short plate, and the ribs are called short ribs not because they are short in length, but because they come from what is called the short plate.
Prime rib can be either a steak sliced from the roast or the entire roast. In other words, it isn't a precise term. The standing rib roast is more precise. You can get more than one prime rib steak from the standing rib roast. The standing rib roast must have come from at least 2 of the ribs. A rib eye roast is a standing rib roast with the ribs removed. The prime rib (standing rib roast or steak cut from that area) is actually not required to be USDA prime beef.
