Steps:

• To Finish Dry-Style on the Grill: Remove ribs from vacuum bags and carefully pat dry with paper towels. Rub with remaining 3 tablespoons spice rub. Light one-half chimney full of charcoal (about 2 1/2 quarts of coals). When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and arrange the coals on one side of the charcoal grate. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill, and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Alternatively, set half the burners on a gas grill to the medium heat setting, cover, and preheat for 10 minutes. Scrape the grill grates clean with a grill scraper, then oil the grates by holding an oil-dipped kitchen towel or paper towels in a set of tongs and rubbing them over the grates 5 to 6 times. Place the ribs, meat-side up, over the cooler side of the grill. Cover and cook until ribs are heated through and dry to the touch, about 15 minutes. Transfer ribs to hotter side of grill and continue grilling, turning occasionally, until a crusty bark has formed, about 10 minutes. Serve.

Transfer ribs to oven and cook until surface is sizzling and ribs are heated through, about 20 minutes. Brush ribs with sauce and return to oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, brush with another layer of sauce, and return to oven until sauce is dried and sticky, about 10 minutes longer. Remove ribs from oven, paint with one last layer of sauce, and serve, passing extra sauce at the table.

• Prepare a thermocirculator and water bath according to manufacturer's directions. Set thermocirculator to 135 degrees F (57 degrees C) and allow water bath to come up to temperature. Season rib roast evenly with 1 tablespoon salt and transfer to a large vacuum-sealable bag; arrange butter cubes, thyme sprigs, and crushed garlic around rib roast in bag.
• Seal bag with a vacuum sealer according to manufacturer's directions.

• Season rib roast evenly with remaining tablespoon salt and pepper and place on the prepared baking pan.
• Cook rib roast in the preheated oven until fat cap is deeply caramelized, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer rib roast to a large cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain into 1- to 1 1/2-inch thick slices; garnish sliced prime rib with flaky sea salt to taste.
• While rib roast is in the oven, combine reserved contents from vacuum bag and mushrooms in a medium saucepan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are mostly tender and liquid has reduced completely, 8 to 10 minutes.
