Grilled Prime Rib Recipe
- 1 (4-rib) standing beef rib roast (about 8 to 12 pounds)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- Horseradish-Cream Sauce, for serving (see recipe intro)
- Rinse the rib roast with cool water and pat it dry with paper towels.
- Place on a wire rack set on a baking sheet, cover with dry paper towels, and refrigerate until the surface of the meat is dry to the touch.
- (You can age the meat for several days by tightly covering it with a clean, dry kitchen towel and refrigerating it on a wire rack set on a baking sheet.)
- Remove the roast from the refrigerator, unwrap it, and rub it all over with the oil, then the salt and pepper.
- Let it sit for 1 hour at room temperature.
- Twenty minutes before the roast has come to room temperature, prepare the grill.
- If youre using a charcoal grill, light enough charcoal to fill a standard chimney starter, about 5 quarts.
- After about 10 minutes, when the charcoal is red hot, carefully transfer it to one side of the grills charcoal grate.
- Set a drip pan next to the hot charcoal.
- Set the cooking grate over both the charcoal and the drip pan.
- Place the roast bone-side down on the cooking grate and over the drip pan (not over the flaming charcoal) and cover the grill.
- Rotate and flip the meat every 30 minutes so that every side of the roast is exposed to the hot side of the grill.
- Continue flipping until a thermometer inserted into the center of the roast (but not touching any bones) reads 125 degrees F for medium rare, about 2 hours.
- (Depending on the charcoal you use, you may need to add more halfway through the cooking time.)
- Transfer the roast to a cutting board, tent it with foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Separate the ribs by cutting through the meat in between them.
- Slice the meat off the bones and serve with horseradish-cream sauce.
