PRIME RIB ROAST ON CHARCOAL GRILL

Steps:

• Mix olive oil, garlic, pepper, rosemary, salt, and beef base together in a bowl. Cover beef roast completely with the rub.
• Heat a charcoal smoker to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) on indirect heat. Place the roast directly on the grill grate with a drip pan underneath. Add wood chips according to manufacturer's directions.
• Smoke until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the roast reads at least 125 degrees F (52 degrees C), about 2 hours and 30 minutes.

CHARCOAL GRILLED PRIME RIB

Steps:

• Rub roast all over with oil, then season generously with pepper.
• Spread salt on a baking sheet and press meat into salt, on all sides to coat; refrigerate meat for 1 hour.
• Remove meat from refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature for about 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, soak wood chips in water for at least 1 hour.
• Use about 75 charcoal briquettes, light, and wait until they start to get ashy.
• Move all the coals to one side of the grill to create an area for direct heat and one for indirect heat (place aluminum pan on indirect heat side; grease grate.
• Sear the fatty sides of the roast over the hot coals until well browned, about 8 to 10 minutes; place roast over indirect heat side, bone side down, with the bones pointed away from the coals.
• Cover grill, but open lower vents to draw in air to smoke meat.
• Cook 2 to 2 1/2 hours (temp should be about 125 degrees F).
• Let rest 20 minutes before serving.

STANDING RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Remove the large cut of meat from the refrigerator1 hour before putting on the grill to allow the internal temperature of the meat to come down.
• Brush the meat with oil to keep it moist and from sticking to the grates. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and the dried herbs. Make slits in the meat with a sharp knife and insert the garlic cloves.
• Prepare a charcoal grill for indirect grilling. The temperature inside the grill should be 300 to 325 degrees F.
• Place the meat, bone-side down, on the rack directly in the center of the grill. Cover with the lid. Grill until an instant-read thermometer registers 125 degrees F for medium-rare, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
• Let the meat rest before carving.

GRILL-ROASTED PRIME RIB FOR CHARCOAL GRILL

Steps:

• Your butcher can remove the bones and trim excess fat from the roast; just make sure that the bones are packed up along with the meat, as you need them to protect it from overbrowning. If the only roast you can find is boneless, fashion a protective "bone" from aluminum foil (see instructions below). Letting the roast stand at room temperature for 2 hours prior to grilling helps it cook evenly. Serve the roast as is or with Horseradish Sauce.
• 1. Rub roast with oil and season generously with pepper. Spread salt on rimmed baking sheet; press roast into salt to coat evenly on all sides. Tie meat back onto bones exactly from where it was cut, passing two lengths of twine between each set of bones and knotting securely. Refrigerate roast, uncovered, for 1 hour, then let stand at room temperature 2 additional hours.
• 2. Meanwhile, soak wood chunks in water for 1 hour; drain. About 20 minutes before grilling, open top and bottom grill vents. Using chimney starter, ignite 4 quarts charcoal briquettes (about 60 coals) and burn until partially covered in thin, gray ash, about 15 minutes. Empty coals into grill; build modified two-level fire by arranging coals to cover one-half of grill. Place disposable roasting pan on empty side of grill. Position cooking grate over coals, cover grill, and heat until hot, about 5 minutes; scrape grate clean with grill brush.
• 3. Place roast on grate over hot side of grill and sear on fat-covered sides until well browned, turning as needed, 8 to 10 minutes total. (If flare-ups occur, move roast to cooler side of grill until flames die down.) When thoroughly browned, transfer roast to cooler side of grill, bone side down, with tips of bones pointed away from fire. Place soaked wood chunks on coals. Cover grill, positioning top vent over roast to draw smoke through grill. Grill-roast (do not remove lid for at least 1 1/2 hours) until instant-read thermometer inserted into center of roast reads 125 degrees for medium-rare, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
• 4. Transfer roast to cutting board and let rest 20 minutes, lightly tented with foil. Remove strings and bones, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices, and serve.
