Grilled Prime Rib

Discover the joys of grilling with this savory and tender Grilled Prime Rib recipe. Perfect for a weekend feast or a special occasion, this recipe brings out the rich flavors of prime rib with a delightful charred exterior.

Ingredients

  • 1 bone-in prime rib roast (about 6 to 8 pounds)
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for a spicy kick)
  • Olive oil, for coating

Instructions

  1. Remove the prime rib from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 2 hours before grilling.
  2. Preheat the grill to high heat (around 500°F).
  3. In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper to create the rub.
  4. Brush the prime rib with olive oil and then generously apply the rub over the entire surface of the meat.
  5. Place the prime rib on the grill and sear each side for about 2-3 minutes to form a crust.
  6. After searing, reduce the grill temperature to medium (around 325°F to 350°F).
  7. Continue to grill the prime rib, turning occasionally, for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare.
  8. Remove the prime rib from the grill and let it rest for about 20 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
  9. Carve the prime rib into thick slices and serve.
