Rib roast on the BGE??

transversalInactive · March 2011

Most posts regarding BGE rib roast (boneless) discuss temps in the 350* range (dome) and somewhere between 17-20 minutes per pound to reach a 130* internal temp followed by a 20-30 minute rest.

Just wondering if anyone has tried one at a lower temp, say 250*, and whether or not it has any effect on the outcome. I know that the quality of cut does not indicate a low and slo cook.........just looking for input if anyone has attempted on that way.

Thanks.

Sure. 250 is great. Just don't take it higher than you want

I dunno about the rest of the country, but "prime rib" here in the northeast is often sold as 'slow roasted'. ...that's basically 250 til done. I think you actually get a better crust that way than when seare

Thanks, Stike......there was a steak house in Dallas several years back that featured slow roasted prime rib........and I never had it where it wasn't outstanding. Just wanted to see if anyone thought I was nuts doin a lo and slo on prime rib. Most of what I grill I grill lo and slow. That's the beauty of the Egg. And I don't mind the wait. So, I'll give it a try. Thanks again, Stike.

Jack,

I have done many using stike's method and they come out great. The meat will look more rare than it really is.

A rib roast, boneless or standing rib is about the easiest thing you can barbecue. A pit temp of 225° to 250° works great.

I've cooked at 200 degrees grid(225 dome) for somewhere around 30 minutes per pound - but I do like to do a quick sear first...I like the flavor from the sear, but afterwards, the slower it's cooked, the less you have an overcooked grey ring on the outside of the roast, and a more appealing even pink/red from the center to the surface... pretty good wiggle room in everybody's methods to suit personal taste - I say just never cook past medium rare or you will be cursed forever... :cheer: I usually cook to 225-228 and then rest, of course...

Dave,

Yes, I have cooked them at 200* as well and like it a lot. I would usually do a sear at the end though. Don't get any grey meat cause I do it very hot for a minute or so only. I generally sear after the meat hits 115*. They can burn theirs after it's sliced

How do you go about raising the temp fast for the sear at the end? That sounds like a good idea - I've never tried the sear at the end , but makes perfect sense...

Take the roast off and open the vents B)

I have had the best rib roast by cooking it @ 200 degrees until it gets to 118. Take off heat wrap and bring to room temp. Crank grill up to 500-550 and sear it for 15-20 mins.

crispy crust, perfectly med-rare from center to edges.
no grey rings

just wonderful

Jack,

Make a video of your crawfish boil and post it. That'll teach us

I got'cha, Steven!! Man, I gave up boiling them myself a while back. We have a place 5 minutes from the house that does'em to perfection. It's much too easy to go pick'em up!! But, I've boiled many a sack in my day........

Jack,

I am a full size cajun trapped in a little Canadian body! I love everything Louisiana. I can't beg borrow or buy andouille, boudain, file, crawfish, redfish, or soft shell crabs. Not to mention gator tail meat, turtle, po' boys or barbeque shrimp. I really don't like you very much right now and wish you would stop :laugh:

Yes - That's the way I do it... with a sear at the end. One of my very favorite cooks!

transversalInactive · March 2011

What internal temp am I looking for to have a medium to medium well? Then sear it?

Howdy, Stranger!
