Grilled Prime Rib Recipes

GRILLED PRIME RIB

Steps:

• Preheat the grill.
• Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature.
• Season steaks generously on both sides with salt and pepper. Press the salt and pepper into the steaks. Set aside.
• Make the garlic paste: Trim the stem ends off garlic cloves.
• Place a small skillet over medium heat and add 4 tablespoons of the oil. Add the garlic cloves and bring the oil to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Strip the leaves off 2 sprigs rosemary and chop to make 2 tablespoons. Add the rosemary to the garlic and cook until the cloves are golden brown, about 10 minutes, tossing occasionally with tongs.
• Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the garlic to cool in the oil.
• In a mortar or on a cutting board, mash the garlic into a paste. Mix the mashed garlic with the reserved oil and rosemary. You should have about 1/2 cup of paste.
• Place the meat on a hot grill and cook until well browned on both sides, about 5 minutes on the first side and 3 minutes on the second side.
• Cut 2 lemons in half and cut ends off. Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the lemons on the grill with the steaks and serve with the steak.
• Smear 2 generous tablespoons of the paste over the first seared side of each steak. Place the steaks, paste side facing up, on the grill rack.
• Finish cooking on the cool side of the grill, with the lid on or in the oven until done to your preference, 10 to 12 minutes for rare (remove when an instant-read thermometer registers 120 degrees F).
• Remove the steaks from the grill and allow the steaks to rest on the rack for about 10 minutes. Cover and keep warm while resting.
• Transfer the steaks to a cutting board. Cut between the bone and meat of each steak. Cut each steak crosswise into 1-inch slices.

OUTDOOR GRILLED PRIME RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Season the roast the night before you will be cooking it. Preheat the grill to 475* (we have a gas grill with three sets of burners, light the two side burners and not the one directly under the pan) Remove the roast from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before putting it on the grill. Remove from foil and place in a roasting pan, (we use throw away aluminum pans). Cook the roast for 60 minutes, turn off the grill and allow roast to 'rest' in the hot grill for an additional 60 minutes. It will be wonderful and you will have a great tasting au jus in the baking pan, just skim off the fat. Note, cooking time includes the resting time as well.

HOW TO GRILL A PRIME RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Rinse your roast under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels and place roast on wire cooling rack. Salt all sides of the roast with coarse sea salt and place in the refrigerator for 3 days.
• Preheat your grill to 225-235 degrees.
• While the grill is preheating, prepare your prime rib by applying a light coat of olive oil over the entire roast.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together all ingredients for the beef rub. Apply liberally over the entire roast. On top of the beef rub, sprinkle chopped fresh rosemary. Allow roast to sit on the counter and come up towards room temperature while your grill preheats.
• Insert a reliable meat thermometer in the roast, place roast on grill over indirect heat, as far from the heat source as possible. Be sure to place the roast with the bones facing the heat source.
• When the internal temperature reaches 122 degrees (about 2 hours), remove the roast from the grill and set aside. Increase the direct heat zone of your grill to extra-high.
• Place the roast directly over high heat for a total of 5 minutes, turning often so that all sides get a nice crust built up.
• Remove roast from heat, place on a cutting board, and tent with foil. Allow resting for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
• Using a sharp knife, slice roast in 1/2 inch slices and serve with roasted garlic mashed potatoes and creamed spinach.
