There's a huge stigma that Prime Rib is difficult to cook....
It's NOT!
Follow my recipe AND invest in a meat thermometer.....that's it!
Here's how the hubs and I cooked ours this past weekend.....on our grill.....for a Christmas gathering with friends.
We cooked an 8 pound one.....If you're cooking smaller, adjust total cook time down - if you're going with the 20 pound beast, allow at least an additional 30 mins on total cook time....
What you'll need:
- Prime Rib - right! lol
- Pan that Prime Rib fits into (I prefer disposable)
- Meat Thermometer - this is a MUST
- Spice Blend or Rub, see my choice below....
Now for the Cook:
- Remove Prime Rib from the fridge 2 hours before cooking.
- Coat with JR Signature Blend Spice & a little Mushroom Salt. Let sit.
Now it's time for your cook time plan....
- Plan for an actual cook time of 2 hours as well for an 8-10 pound roast
- Meaning you will turn your oven, or grill, on about 30 mins ahead of the start of your cook so it will be at temp.
- Ideal Grill or OvenTemp is 350 degrees
- Place Prime Rib in oven in pan OR on grill without pan initially (just to sear it....caution of the fat rendering here!) *Don't place in oven without pan*
- Once Prime Rib is cooking - check it in about an hour for internal temp
- Internal temp end goal is 125 degrees in the center for Finished product
- Ours took about 1. 45 - 2 hours to reach that temp....smaller would take less time, larger will take more.
Now, Let Rest 10-15 mins, cut strings, slice or shave and ENJOY!
