The Kingsford Difference

Kingsford has been fueling legendary grills since 1920, and we’re still America’s #1 charcoal for good reason. Our briquets light faster, burn longer, and deliver the high heat you need for exceptional results. Whether you’re searing steaks or savoring smoky flavors, one thing’s for certain — nothing beats the original.

1Food Prep

Trim any hard fat and silver skin off.

Trim off the bones by following the curve and tie back on for easy removal after cooking (if your butcher hasn’t done this already).

Tie up the prime rib for even cooking.

Generously rub every inch of the meat and bones with the coarse rub and dry brine in the fridge overnight or at least 1 hour.

In a bowl, mix up the paste with softened butter, mayo, Dijon, soy sauce, Worcestershire, garlic and herbs.

Rub the prime rib all over with the paste.
