Ingredients

• 8-10 lb Prime Rib Roast (Bone in if possible)
• Olive Oil
• Kinders Prime Rib Rub
• Apple Cider Vinegar

Instructions

1. Trim off any thick (> .25") or hard fat
2. Use a Jacard Needle tenderizer to penetrate the entire roast thoroughly. This will help make sure our Prime Rib turns out crazy tender
3. Pat the outside of the Roast down with paper towels.
4. Spray the roast with Olive Oil to keep it from sticking to the grill as well as give the Rub a better chance of sticking to the meat
5. Thoroughly apply Kinders Prime Rib Rub
6. Get a wood-fired Grill up to 225 F and prepare for the Reverse Sear method
7. Place a food probe in the thickest part of the Prime Rib Roast
8. Place Rib Roast on the smoker
9. Spritz the outside of the Rib Roast every half hour
10. When the internal temperature of the roast reaches 90 F, start making the grill temperature rise to 325 F
11. When the internal temperature hits 125, pull the roast off the grill
12. Get your grill set up for direct heat at 500-600 F
13. Grill the rib roast on the direct heat on each side for 2-3 minutes to get a nice crust
14. Pull off when internal temperature hits 135 f and place foil on top and let the Rib Roast rest for 30-60 minutes. (60 minutes preferably)

Notes

Monitor internal temperatures closely all the way through. A few degrees one way or the other can make a big difference

Additional Tips

• Consistent Seasoning: Ensure the roast is evenly coated with the Kinders Prime Rib Rub for consistent flavor throughout.

• Monitor Internal Temperature: Use a reliable meat thermometer to keep track of the internal temperature and avoid overcooking.

• Resting Period: Let the prime rib rest for 60 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.

This recipe proves that you don't need the most expensive cut to enjoy a high-quality, steakhouse-worthy meal.
