2 Bone Prime Rib Roast

1voyager

This prime beast from Costco weighed 6 pounds, 3 ounces before trimming. Here it is after trimming:



I coated it with coarse Kosher salt, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerated for 48 hours. 



Unwrapped 4 hours before cooking, applied more salt and returned to refrigerator, uncovered. *** Those trying to limit sodium intake may want to skip this step. The result may seem over-salted, but it was perfect, IMHO.*** I also did a small French trim on the bones.

Added generous amount of coarse black pepper, a whisper of granulated garlic, then used twine to secure fresh rosemary sprigs. 



325 degrees dome temperature, raised indirect. It took about 2 hours to reach 125 degrees internal. Covered and rested for 10 minutes.



Time to chow down!



Afterthoughts:

The cap came out medium so next time I'll go with 300 degrees dome temperature. 

I usually go with a boneless cut. Bone-in is the way I'll go from now on. 

One other note: It took about 30 minuets longer than a similar weight boneless.

I just passed up a similar sized cut at the grocery store about 2 hours ago.  Now you are making me go back to the store to get it.

Looks good.  Did you make an au jus and if so, how???

@Boarcephis- Thank-you. I don't make an au jus. I use whatever juice is caught by the groove in my cutting board and pour it over the meat after slicing.
