Info on cooking Prime Rib Roast

Unknown

I am about to do my first Prime Rib Roast (to serve 7 adults) on the BGE. The cooks tell me to sear the meat at about 600 degrees before cooking it till done. I need some input from experieced BGE cooks. Thanks

MaryAnn,
I've done several of these lately with great results. I've aged the roast 3-4 daus in the refridg. (uncovered), trim off the dried ends, then brown well in a pan (save the rendered fat for Yorkshire pudding or jus). Then rub the roast well with salt, garlic powder, ground bl pepper, and herbs. Roast in BGE at 210F for 30 min. per lb. to about 130 internal for m-rare. I use an inverted plate setter with second grill over a drip pan. This give a perfect m-rare roast without the "window" effect and temperature climb once removed which occurs at higher cooking temps.
