Holiday Dinner Recipes:

Prime Rib Roast

This prime rib recipe is cooked on your grill.  It’s perfect for your holiday dinner and it still gives that BBQ’d taste.

Ingredients:

1 Whole Prime Rib Roast

6-8 Cloves of Garlic

4 Sprigs of Fresh Rosemary

2 Tablespoons of Black Pepper

2 Tablespoons of Dried Rosemary

2 Tablespoons of Sea Salt

2 Tablespoons of Paprika

Directions:

1. Prepare your grill by placing a  dripping pan under where the roast will be.  Put the grill temperature at about 375 degrees F.  Periodically add water to the pan to keep the drippings from burning away (if you’re looking to make gravy).
2. Use a sharp paring knife to make a series of 1/2 inch deep holes across the roast.  Place these holes about once every two inches.
3. Insert garlic slivers into every other hole and a leaf or rosemary in the rest.
4. Combine the black pepper, dried rosemary, salt, and paprika and rub over the surface of the prime rib.
5. Place the roast on a well-oiled grate over your dripping pan.  Cook for about 12 to 14 minutes per pound or prime rib.
6. When the meat reaches 115 to 125 degrees, remove it from the grill and place it on a platter.  Cover the meat with foil and it will continue cooking.  Let rest for at least 15 minutes.
