Best Rotisserie Prime Rib
Description
Best Rotisserie Prime Rib starts by tying a 5-pound prime rib roast securely with kitchen twine and seasoning it generously with coarse salt, freshly cracked black pepper, garlic powder, and optional Italian seasoning or Aleppo pepper. The roast is brought to room temperature to promote even cooking.
The rotisserie setup involves heating lump charcoal to maintain a steady 350°F. The roast is mounted on rotisserie forks and cooked for about 2 to 2.5 hours, turning slowly to brown all sides evenly. Internal temperature is closely monitored to reach 110-115°F for medium rare doneness.
After cooking, the roast is tented loosely with foil and rested for 30-45 minutes. This resting period allows juices to redistribute, ensuring tenderness and juiciness once sliced. The slow, even rotisserie cooking method enhances the flavor and texture of prime rib with a subtly smoky crust from the charcoal grill.
Ingredients
- 5 lb prime rib roast bone in or boneless
- 1 tbsp black pepper fresh cracked
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp salt Celtic, or other coarse salt (reduce if using table salt - we prefer coarse salt for this recipe, sea salt
- 2 tbsp Italian seasoning or Aleppo pepper, optional
Instructions
- Remoive roast from refrigerator and tie tightly, using 4-5 loops of kitchen twine.
- Season roast well.
- Let roast come to room temperature, about 2 hours.
- Ready your grill - bring grill temperature to 350 degrees, using high quality lump charcoal.
- Insert rotisserie forks into prime rib roast.
- Place roast into rotisserie attachment for egg-shaped grill, Traeger grill, or other outdoor rotisserie.
- Cook roast over charcoal for 2 - 2 1/2 hours, until internal temperature is 110-115 (for medium rare). Go off temperature, NOT time. Keep grill temperature around 350 as you cook, adjusting as needed to maintain temperature.
- Remove prime rib from rotisserie and tent, loosely, with foil until meat rests for 30-45 minutes.
- Slice and serve.
