Cooking for 6 people

Ingredients

  • 1 boneless prime rib roast 4–6 pounds
  • kosher salt
  • 8 cloves garlic, halved

Seasoning Paste

  • 0.3 cup fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tbsp. onion powder
  • 1 tbsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp. black pepper
  • 0.25 cup mayonnaise

1 Food Prep

  • Trim any excessive fat from the fat cap to less than ¼” on your roast and remove any silver skin. Using butcher’s twine, tie the meat every ¾” or so to make the meat more round than oval shaped. This will promote more consistent smoking and cooking.

  • Dry brine your roast by sprinkling 3–4 tsp. of kosher salt on all sides of the meat. Allow your roast to rest covered in the refrigerator on a baking rack with a cookie sheet beneath it to catch any juices for 24–48 hours.
  • If you like, you can also cut small slits in the surface of the meat 1–2” apart from each other and push garlic slivers into the slits.
  • Once your roast is done brining, combine your seasoning paste ingredients in a small bowl then coat your roast with the paste.

3 The Cook

  • Place the thermometer probe into the center of your roast and place it on a baking rack with a cookie sheet beneath it. Position the roast at the center of the pellet grill.

  • Smoke your roast until the internal temperature reaches 115°F. You’ll need about 30–45 minutes per lb.

  • Remove your roast from the pellet grill and raise the grill temperature to 450°F.

  • Once at temp, place your roast in the center of the grill and cook for another 15 minutes until your roast reaches an internal temperature of 125°F and the exterior has browned.

  • Remove your roast from the heat and allow it to rest until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Slice and serve.
