Prime Rib Cooking Instructions

1. In a food processor, combine the following ingredients:

   • Rosemary
   • Parsley
   • Garlic
   • Canola oil
   • Mustard
   • Salt
   • Pepper
   • Pulse until the herbs are finely chopped and the ingredients are well combined.
   
   

2. Coat the prime rib evenly with the herb mixture. Then, refrigerate it uncovered for 4 hours.

3. When ready to cook, perform the following steps:

   • Set the Traeger grill temperature to 250℉ (121℃).
   • Preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.
   • Use the Super Smoke feature if available
     
     

4. Cooking the prime rib:

   • Place the prime rib on the grill grates, bone-side down.
   • Insert a probe into the thickest part of the roast, avoiding bones and large fat pockets.
   • Close the lid and cook until the internal temperature reaches 120℉ to 130℉ (49℃ to 54℃) for rare to medium-rare, which should take about 5 hours. Start checking the internal temperature every 45 minutes after the first 2 hours.
   • Maintain the grill temperature at 250℉ (121℃) throughout the cooking.
   • Monitor the cooking progress using the Super Smoke feature if your grill has it.
   
   

5. Finishing touches:

   • Once cooked, remove the prime rib from the grill.
   • Tent it loosely with foil and let it rest for 15 minutes.
   • After resting, carve the prime rib and serve.

Enjoy your delicious prime rib!
