Restaurant Style Prime Rib

• 4 to 10 lbs of prime rib roast
• 3 tbsp of sea salt
• 4 tbsp of freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 tbsp dry thyme
• a little bit of olive oil

The roast will have to sit with the rub overnight, so plan accordingly. To start cooking some restaurant style prime ribs, rinse the roast and then pat it dry using a paper towel. Rub the rib roast with a little bit of olive oil. In a small bowl, mix the sea salt, black pepper and thyme. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the prime roast. Wrap the roast in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

Heat your grill up to 500 degrees. Grill the top and the bottom of the roast for 3 minutes on each side. Remove the roast from the the grill and wrap in aluminum foil. Bring the temperature down to 325 degrees. Place the roast in a roasting pan and add beef broth to the bottom of the roasting pan. If you would like, you can add onion, carrots, mushrooms, and garlic to the broth. Roast the prime ribs until they have reached the correct temperature. Remove from the pan and let sit for 15 minutes before cutting and serving.
