Last year for Christmas I wanted to branch out and get away from the traditional turkey or ham. Went with a Prime Rib I ordered from a local butcher shop. It was beautiful and turned out Rare. The taste was the only complaint...it was kinda blah. I am a big time steak guy and can grill a mean steak. I cannot, however, master the Prime Rib yet... I’m coming to the ‘fire for help. Thanks in advance

Take the roast out of the fridge 3 hours or so before you put it on the bbq that helps a lot with having rare meat in the middle. Season it generously with your favorite seasonings. Sea salt, pepper, Montreal steak spice and prime rib seasoning is what I use. I put it in a tin foil roasting pan and cover with tin foil. Turn it about every 20 minutes. Takes about 2 hours for an 8 pound roast. Use a meat thermometer. I take it off to rest when center of roast is 140°. Trial and error = perfection.

The rib roast is the hardest cut I have ever tried. Scared stiff of spoiling that much good beef, and $$$$$

Salt and pepper. Let come to room temp.
Sear uncovered in a really hot oven.
Cover....turn oven down.
Pull out roast and rest when required doneness is achieved. Make gravy while you wait.
Easy peasy.
I am MAGA.

Our easy way of doing them here mixing up soft butter with garlic, pepper, kosher salt, and whatever else you like. Covering the roast with the butter as thick as you can make it.
Pre heat an oven to broil and cook for 5 minutes per pound of roast. Once you’ve reached the time limit DO NOT open the oven. Just shut it off and let it sit in their for an hour. It should have a great crust on it and be medium rare in the middle.
The other way we do it is a dry rub, sear the outsides for 2 minutes on every piece you can get to then chuck it on the Traeger or similar at 225 until it hits 125 or your preferred temp internal.
Either is excellent.

Either on Weber kettle or, if the oven, the recipe that starts about 500 for 20 min then turn off oven.....

Thanks in advance Best one I made, was done by cutting the roast into steaks Sale prices have been pretty good around here during Christmas. Makes for some cheap steaks.

I like the oven method Jim and others have suggested a lot. However, the surest way to get a perfectly cooked prime rib, in my opinion, is the sous vide method. I like to finish it on a very hot oak wood fire. You can literally guarantee how it will turn out. What's more, it will be the same color from edge to edge with a good sear without the gray over-cooked edges and a too rare center. Perfect every time.

I use reverse sear
Take out allow to come to room temp Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. apply salt , white pepper, powdered garlic, and powdered onion Bake roast in the preheated oven until internal temperature reaches 115 degrees F (46 degrees C) for medium-rare, about 3 1/2 hours. Remove from oven and tent with aluminum foil; allow to rest, about 20 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Uncover roast Return roast to the oven and bake until well-browned, 6 to 10 minutes. Slice and serve
I make Au jus while the roast is cooking

Haven’t tried to sous vide one yet. Maybe for Christmas!
