Ingredients
  • 1 Bone in Prime Rib Roast – 4-6 Bones – 6-12 pounds
  • 2 Tbsp Butter
  • Bacon fat for 6-8 pieces of bacon
  • Rosemary for garnish

Special Tools
  • Roasting pan to catch drippings

Directions
  1. Set your Pit Boss grill to 225°F.
  1. Combine the butter with the bacon fat and mix together. Add the Pit Boss Prime Beef Rub, Chophouse Steak Rub, and Boss Rub all together and mix into a paste.
  1. With the roast bone side down, apply the butter and bacon fat pasted to the entire surface of the prime rib - Use gloves, and apply the paste evenly.
  1. Place the roast in the grill, on top of a sheet pan to catch the excess drippings, or you can cook without the pan.
  1. Cook at 225°F for approximately 35 minutes per pound, or when the internal temperature reaches 125°F. At 125°F, remove the roast to rest for 30 minutes.
  1. Increase the temperature on your Pit Boss grill to 350°F and open the sear plate.
  1. Return the roast to the grill and sear to desired crust and temperature - Approximately 10 minutes for Rare to Medium Rare.  Use probe thermometer to verify your finished temperature.
  1. Remove and rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
