[@whatsgnu]

Used this technique about a month ago as a test run and had perfect results. Doing another today for the whole family and can't wait to eat it again! Merry Christmas!

I've made this for the holiday's multiple times....awesome!! I always re-watch prior to getting into it. Making it again for Christmas dinner tomorrow. My roasts are salted and resting on racks in the fridge now...total of 22lbs this year. Great recipe, a real family fav!! Thanks Buddha...

[@TheBBQBuddha]

Thanks for taking the time to post this. Merry Christmas 🎄

Merry Christmas, again! Running the same again this year. I change up the herb butter each time. This is a really great way to make Prime Rib on the Green Egg. Thanks again ​@@TheBBQBuddha

Did exactly as you described and it came out perfectly. Thank you Buddha! My butcher had already separated the bones and then tied it back up, but good to know to ask for that in the future!

Cooked this last night. The 5 pound roast had been in my freezer since January. Bought it at Winn Dixie on sale after the holidays. Dry brined it for 2 days. Followed your instructions and it was amazing!!! This will go down in the annals of the history of my cooking as " the meal". Best standing rib I have ever eaten. We are still talking about it this morning. Thanx so much.

[@TheBBQBuddha]

You just made my day! Thank you 🙏

[@kenkos179]

How long did you thaw out your 5lb roast before you dry Brand?

[@GilO-h8r]

I have done this three times already and it is in fact PERFECT!

[@TrackHeadStudios]

My first time doing this was last year. Doing it again this year. I think it’s gonna be an annual event. I may even start doing this for Easter Dinner annually! It’s so darned good!

Great video, thanks for sharing. I think I’m gonna try this on Saturday for Christmas. Was that on indirect heat on the bge? And what accessory is that w the handles connected to the grill and drip pan?

Thank you! Yes this was setup for indirect cooking.

[@johngleske3934]

What brand/size of Charcoal did you use? I like the idea of the Pecan "chips" and not chunks. You do not want a heavy smoke flavor on prime rib. James with Smoking Dad BBQ used tied clumps of fresh Rosemary and Thyme thrown on the coals for smoking. I might try that a second time but I am going to follow your recipe to the letter for the first time. I love your recipes for the BGE. Thanks for posting. Please let me know about the charcoal.

[@mj99may]

If we go with “Choice” v “Prime” grade - would anything need to be adjusted for these instructions?

[@TheBBQBuddha]

Not a thing ☺️

[@stevengoodwin1177]

As you learned, make a cut to separate (but not remove) the ribs from the roast, and then tie it back into a solid roast. A good butcher removes the vertebrae cap so that you can make a clean rib-separation cut, but....

[@andykline1933]

Thank you! On my list. Why take out at 120? Does it cook a little more while resting? Thx!!

[@TheBBQBuddha]

Exactly… the carryover cooking will put you 5-10° over the 120°

[@andykline1933]

@@TheBBQBuddha awesome! Thx so much.

[@kylesisk3750]

Do you wrap it up before putting in the fridge

[@TheBBQBuddha]

Nope… put it on the wire rack so the meat is exposed to air on all sides. It will come out amazing!

[@gregvines9864]

For the dry brining, can you use kosher salt? And, do you make au jus from the drippings?

[@TheBBQBuddha]

Yes, Kosher salt is the right salt for this. And yes… put carrots, onion, celery, garlic, herbs and beef stock in the drip pan. Strain it after the meat has finished cooking and you’ll have an amazing jus!

I do not

[@snakedike]

@@TheBBQBuddha Thanks Boss. Then that's how it's going in.

[@13xRunner]

For a Large BGE, what is the biggest size roast I could do?

[@TheBBQBuddha]

@@13xRunner A large Big Green Egg has a cooking surface of 18.25 inches in diameter, allowing for a substantial rib roast. The maximum size depends on the shape and how much other food or accessories are in the grill. Generally, you can fit a prime rib roast with 6-7 ribs (around 16-18 pounds), which is sufficient to feed 12-14 people.

[@13xRunner]

@@TheBBQBuddha perfect, thanks for the feedback! I figured this would be the right amount paired with another main for about 20 people. Been following since I got my Egg in 2020! I asked Santa for your cookbook this year :) Happy Thanksgiving!

[@steveostiguy9519]

Better to cut the bone off before you cook and tie it back on with the twine before you cook. Then you get the benefits of the bone but easy removal after cooked. Cheers!

How long did you let this rest for before carving?

Does anyone no what the temp is ??

[@TheBBQBuddha]

Thanks for the comment and 💯 agreed!

[@realdeallocal1221]

Great job, love brining in salt ahead. Love that you included a mistake and owned it! Didn't mention resting and for me it was a little more cooked, I will pull at 110 and rest for 15m and let you know. I have some cherry a friend gave me so I will use that. Love the idea of going higher on the temp and less time... I think slow cooking might get more smoke, but do you really need a lot of smoke on such a great piece of meat? def. subscibing..

[@TheBBQBuddha]

Thanks for such a thoughtful response 🍻

[@mikeoden9600]

Do you need to take the meat out of the fridge longer to get it to room temperature and if you don’t how much longer will it take to cook?

I cut the bone loose n tie it back on before grilling w butcher string

This is the way

I was going to tell him the same thing. Cut it off and then tie it back on so you still have the protection of the bone during cooking.

[@coreyg7364]

Great video! but um....how does the "barbecue Buddha" not know to remove the bone before cutting the roast??? 🤪🤣🤪🤣

[@TheBBQBuddha]

We all live and learn

[@tedlaurvik3765]

I got my local butcher to cut and tie the ribs. I am waiting with bait breath (pun) to start the grilling in an hour.

[@TheBBQBuddha]

Good call!

[@tedlaurvik3765]

I got rave reviews on the prime rib. We got three meals out of the ~8 lb cut.

[@webincomeincome8767]

Looks to me the temp is too high. I’d say 300 degrees would not burn some outside parts.

[@TheBBQBuddha]

Reverse sear would be ideal for the roast.

[@EnochLight]

Agree - also, anything above 300 isn't smoking, so all of that pecan and any other wood is pretty much wasted. I'd stick to 275-300 max to get that nice smoky flavor and only add a little bit of time to the cook.

[@cappypants9169]

Just because it’s not “smoked” as a technical definition of temperature doesn’t mean you don’t get great smoke flavor by adding chips any time you grill. Salmon or a whole roasted chicken or pork chops-all get flavored with cherry smoke and it’s incredibly good. Try it, you’ll like it!

[@Rickysfoods]

Amazing as alkways brother, that prime rib came out amazing!
