They sure are. "Prime rib" indicates that the bone-in rib loin (usually 5-7 ribs) is cooked whole. If you butcher the prime rib into slabs cutting between each rib bone, you get cowboy rib eyes. In the case of prime rib, "prime" does not indicate the grade of the beef. It can be Select, Choice or Prime grade.
