Roast beef for Christmas—what cut of meat do I want?

[Anonymous]

Do I want a sirloin tip roast or a rib eye roast or something else?

We always do a rib roast

Rib roast

Both are on sale at Giant Food for a good price.

Rib roast or bone in rib eye.

Ask the butcher. This is their profession and will tell you what's best and how to best cook it.

OP here. How difficult is it to slice the rib eye with the big bone?

I slice the bones almost all the way off before cooking, and then tie them back on with kitchen string. A butcher can also do this for you. Then after cooking, you can easily remove them before carving the roast.

We always do boneless roasts. Easier to slice and deal with. Do whichever makes you happy.

The whole tenderloin.
