Grilled Prime Rib Recipes

GRILLED PRIME RIB ROAST

Steps:

• First, make several half inch deep holes in your meat across all sides of the roast with a sharp knife, spaced about two inches apart.
• Fill the holes with slivered pieces of garlic and rosemary leaves alternating between the two (this will likely require about 7 cloves of garlic and 3 sprigs of rosemary depending on how thinly you cut the garlic and how many leaves are on a sprig).
• Once the holes have been filled, mix together two tablespoons each of black pepper, kosher salt, paprika, and dried rosemary with a tablespoon of vegetable oil, rubbing or brushing it onto the meat on all sides.
• Once seasoned, allow the meat to rest at room temperature for half an hour.
• This lets the meat warm up slightly before it hits the heat, ensuring a more even cook and a juicier end product.
• While your roast warms up, now is a good time to light the grill.
• The properly cook prime rib using this method, you need to set up your grill for indirect cooking at a grill temperature of about 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• For a charcoal grill, this would mean placing coals only on one side of the grill or using a heat diffuser, while keeping one area of a propane grill turned off.
• Additionally, add a grill safe baking pan underneath the space you plan to put the prime rib, as this will let you catch the drippings you'll use for making gravy later on.
• Once the grill and the meat have come up to temperature, you can begin cooking.
• Place your prime rib roast onto the grate in the cold spot you make earlier for indirect grilling.
• You can expect the roast to cook for around 12 minutes per pound of meat, meaning close to 3 and a half hours for a roast this size.
• Remember to periodically add a little bit of water to the baking pan catching the drippings to prevent them from burning.
• When the meat has reached the designated temperature, remove it from the grill and place it onto a cutting board or other flat surface.
• Tent loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for at least 20 minutes if not an hour.
• During this resting period, the meat fibers will relax and reabsorb some of their lost juices, leading to a more tender and flavorful meat.
• Additionally, this extra time allows the residual heat inside the roast to distribute evenly, raising the temperature by about 5 degrees and ending the cooking process.
• As your meat rests, now is the perfect time to make some delicious gravy to go with it.
• Place the pan full of drippings onto the stove and heat it over medium heat.
• Add in a few tablespoons of flower, stirring it into the fat until it's completely coated.
• Cook the flower for about two minutes before adding in a cup of beef or chicken stock, whisking the mixture vigorously and scrapping the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits stuck to the bottom.
• Continue cooking the gravy until it reaches your desired thickness, adding salt and pepper to taste.
• You could also toss in a few fresh herbs to help make it extra flavorful. Once it's done, strain it through a fine mesh sieve into a container.
• Once both your meat and gravy are ready, it's time to eat.

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.

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.
