Christmas Prime Rib

I have said it before in this forum and I will say it again - this is about my favorite thing to cook.  Started off at about 14 lbs.  Pull her from the fridge at noon.  I removed the bones which the butcher had pre-cut away.  Trimmed some of the top fat and a good portion of the hard fat.  I season where the bones once were, retie them back on and then season all over with Snider's Prime Rib Seasoning.   Get the XL up to 275 with the temp being controlled by Flame Boss 300. 


For the record, I moved the pit sensor and attached it to the top of the meat sensor which gave me a much better reading.  She went on at 3:00 and was pulled at about 6:00 when she reached 120 internal.   FTC'd for an hour whilst we finished cocktails and appys.  Pulled her out, took away the bones and then carved.  Served with a 2014 Kata from Napa. 



And to all, a good night.

  • That looks perfect! I did the same thing on Christmas and it was delicious... 
    8lb bone in Prime and it took about 2. 5 hrs and then a reverse sear, I love the crust that reverse sear puts on it.... then if the middle is to red I can just throw on the egg for a few minutes... because we all know its still hot!

  • @DonWW.. what kind of setup do you have in there with no grid?  here was mine... baked potatoes with EVOO and kosher salt are the absolute BEST on an egg...

    DonWW.. what kind of setup do you have in there with no grid?   Grillman, agreed on the potatoes!  I wrap up a bit of tin foil and put the roast in a pan directly on the platesetter (feet down) on top of the foil.  This way, I retain as much of the juices as possible for gravy.

    Looks spot on....  Last time I did prime rib was when I dry aged one.  Been looking at getting back into dry aging again seeings how I haven't been cooking alot over the past year due to illness.
