Easter's Prime Rib Cook (Pic Heavy)

This is my first prime rib on the Big Green Egg. I started off with an 8lb 3 bone standing rib roast. I cut back the ribs, but left the attached. I applied a thin layer of kosher salt and let it refrigerated overnight. I mixed up some of Ted Reader's garlic paste and rubbed it all over, folded the ribs back and tied it up. I cooked at 250F and it took roughly 3 hours to get to 130F internal temp. I rested for about 20 minuted before slicing. This was unreal. imageimageimageimageimageimageimageimageimageimageimage

    It was great! And I mist say, fairly easy to do. You should definitely try it!!  Ted Reader's garlic paste was unbelievable. I could almost eat it on a sandwich...

    Looks delicious. You don't mention doing a reverse sear, but the meat looks like it has one.

    I did zero searing. It seemed like the low & slow cook made it's own crust. It didn't need it!

    Hey Craig, Awesome cook! I worked at a place called the Raleigh House in Michigan, it was a high end catering operation that a lot of prime rib on a daily basis, yours looks better than most from there.

    Looks fantastic! I'll bet the vegetables were great too.

    That looks awesome!  Thanks for sharing.

    What is the theory behind cutting back the ribs and re-tying them?  The last time I bought a Prime Rib I got it boneless. It came out great but all the purists said I should always buy it with the bone.  But, confused if you cut them back anyway...then re-tie them?

    Anyway, looks great.  I have only done slow cooked pork and brisket on a grill, haven't thought that a regular old roast doesn't have to take 15 hours to cook because you take it off at a lower temperature.  I'll try this.

    Pretty much how mine went also my cook was at 300 indirect, just a good bit of salt and pepper though.  I'm curious of the veggies and herbs underneath do you think they bring anything to the table, I've not tried doing that.  I also pulled at 130 with no searing seems like a good crust can be gotten without a sear.

    As far as cutting back the ribs... it allows for adding rub/seasoning to that part of the meat. To me tying them back is more a matter of preference. Although OP used a roasting rack, some like the bones intact to serve as a "natural" roasting rack.

    Many will say that removing the bones completely is the way to go but, again, I think that's a matter of personal preference.

    If I had the option, I would have bought a boneless roast. There are so many articles about bones/no-bones. I trimmed the ribs back just to get my rub down in there. Next time, I will probably just cut them off and smoke them separately. But everything was delicious!

    Looks perfect Craig.  Those are some nice thick "king cut" slices!  

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    Good evening Craig Did you use a plate setter and did you apply paste with kosher salt the night before? Thanks for the help I want to cook this this weekend for my family.

    Why do people post that it's pic heavy? Is it pic heavy to get everyone to look or to warn the people that still have dial up? Sorry, just an honest question.

    Also, the prime rib looks awesome!

    Just carryover from when folks used to be on dialup I guess. Not really necessary this day age though. What is that paste again? Looks good. What temp did you roast at?

    OK. I tried looking it up - musta missed it.

    How do you make Ted Reader's garlic paste?

    I'm always looking for a different seasoning to apply to the outside of my next Prime Rib.

    Used this method for the mothers day prime rib!  Man it was awesome.  I wound up doing 250 indirect for about 4 hours.  The garlic paste on spot on.  Thanks to all for the advice on this one...definitely made the high end of things that have come off the egg!

    That garlic paste smells amazing after it's blended. I could have used a spoon...
