5 lb boneless prime rib?

AUWAG · July 2013

I bought a 5 lb boneless prime rib I plan to do on the egg this evening. I've read several suggestions on here but was curious how you set the egg up(plate setter temp etc) and what you rub the meat with. Was thinking salt pepper and maybe some dizzy pit cow lick. Any help is appreciated!

I do mine platesetter legs up temp about 275 til internal temp about 120. Then take roast off and remove plate setter and crank heat WAY up. Then sear both sides bout a minute and half each. Let it rest bout 20 minutes. Always turns out great.

This works just as well without the bones.

Liberally salt the meat with course Kosher salt. Let rest at RT for 1 hour. Before putting the meat on the egg remove all excess salt and pat the meat dry.

Place plate setter legs up with drip pan on PS (stand drip pan proud of the PS if going to use the use the drippings, otherwise a layer of table salt in the drip pan to prevent early drippings from burning...NOTE the salt with render the dripping non edible. ).

Low and slow 250-275ish till IT reads 120-125ish.

Remove PS, wrap meat in foil.

Crank up egg to 600+.

Place a small grate on the coals the add your meat and sear on all sides.

My advice on the reverse sear is to grill indirect at low temp as the others suggested, but only to 105 (not 120). Someone gave me that advice and 105 seemed way too low, but I tried it and it worked perfectly. Tent the 105 prime rib in foil while you are waiting for the grill to get hot for the sear. Return the meat to the grill to sear on all side. Since it is a cylinder, that takes a good 5 minutes. It continues to cook while resting 10-15 min before carving. Comes out a perfect medium rare.

Ive got a few folks in the family that likes theirs a little more done. If i take it to 120 and then sear it off i get a few end pieces a little more done and the thicker pieces in the center are perfect medium rare for me.

I'm glad someone is listening to me. Up til now I thought I was just a prophet mumbling to myself while wandering through the cyber wilderness

Thanks for all the help! Turned out great. Liberal amount of salt and pepper and added some raising the steaks DP. Cooked at 275 for 2 hours. Pulled at 115, rested, then seared at 500 on all sides. Had several children eating so the more well done pieces were needed. Will definitely do this again!

That looks perfect to me. But in my house, how it looks to me is a secondary concern. My wife would consider that overcooked. That's why I pull it at 105 if I'm going to sear it.... And SWMBO is home... Or I just pull it at 115-118.

+1 for me but that's just preference. Looks great. That looks like a nice quality slab also.

I made a 10# last Christmas and used this rub called Mrs. O'Leary's Cow Crust. Turned out fantastic! Haven't done one since but I will use the recipe again for sure. I got the recipe from amazingribs.com. Just google Mrs. O'Leary's Cow Crust.

I do mine 1st I rub EVOO then with salt &Pepper& fresh chopped garlic I then sear at 500 degrees for about 2 1/2 minutes a side on all 4 sides then rest until egg has cooled to 350 with plate setter in legs up until meat temp of 125 then wrap in tin foil rest for 15 minutes then serve and it comes out awesome

Cookinbob · December 2013

For my taste, @AUWAG, yours looks really good, but @charlesmaneri, yours looks perfect to me in terms of doneness. I read somewhere to have a pan of simmering broth, and use that to further cook for those that do not like medium rare. Have not done it, but I plan to when I do Prime rib. May be a Christmas cook. Planning on a reverse sear though.
