Who's reverse searing prime rib?

yzzi

I got a 7 pound Prime rib that I'm going to reverse sear at 250 for a couple hours and then bump it up higher as I get closer to dinner. How long does it usually take a roast to get up around 120 at 250? My target is going to be 130 then rest.

I figure around 20-25 mins/# at 250*F on the dome to the mid-high 120's.  YMMV-  enjoy. BTW-here's a good read on roasts, sizes and cook-times plus a whole lot more: http://playingwithfireandsmoke.blogspot.com/1996/03/beef-standing-rib-roast-prime-rib.html

Yeah I found that site shortly after posting. I had my egg stabilized at 220 and put it in around 1:30. It is already at 90 degrees an hour and a half later. I closed vents down even more so it's at sub 200. Hopefully it won't finish too early.

My 6 lb standing rib roast(choice from Kroger) last night took almost 3 hours at 250 to reach 118 then I removed and got the Egg to about 500, rubbed a thin layer of evoo on the roast and seared on each side for about 45-60 seconds. Cast iron grid was already hot, as I had it under the plate setter. It was really good.

I'm doing a 7lb boneless on Thursday. Planning 225 grid, guessing 3 hours, then rest and sear @ 500 or so. Thinking 550 indirect for 6 min on the sear. Any thoughts on my sear method?

108 now after 2 hours. Egg is steady at 181. almost ready for rest and sear. Dinner at 5 . should be OK.

@cookingbob, I'm planning a 550 direct on each side. I'll let you know how that works out.

I have never tried to sear indirectly.  When I do steaks, or prime rib now, I always reverse sear. I put my cast iron grid on the fire ring and plate setter legs up on that, factory grid on that.  That way the cast iron is hot. I dry the meat and brush with oil. By that time the Egg is hot enough, sear for a minute or so on all sides.  Works well.

Turned out really good. Sear went a bit nuclear. Climbed quickly up to 700 and flared up a lot when trying to rotate it. Thank goodness I had my long grill gloves on since my arms were in flames. I definitely recommend the reverse sear on prime rib. Low with a handful of Jack Daniels oak chips was very nice.

I do not have a CI grate or a woo. Have to do on the std grate at felt height (on XL). Read another cook who used his oven @ 500 for final sear. Will do a little more research

Here is what I did. Smoked it (used Mickey's coffee rub for the first time it was excellent!) on a plate setter with water underneath till internal of about 115-120. Took roast off and plate setter off.jacked up the heat to about 500. Let it cook for about 10 minutes or so or until it hit 125-130. The ribs on the bottom will protect the meet from getting over done with the direct heat. Actually the ribs turned out tasty too.
