What to prepare for a standing rib roast?

As you may know, a standing rib roast, or prime rib roast, is a cut of beef from the prime rib. This is one of the most delicate parts of a cow, and thus, a standing rib roast is a luxurious piece of meat that can cost $60 for a dish.
So, with this expensive piece of beef, we must know how to prepare and cook a savory dish for everyone to enjoy. Now, let’s see how we will prepare a standing rib before grilling it.

Cut the silver skin

There is a part called “silver skin” locating on the back of the bones and sticking on the rib. Can we eat this skin? No, we can’t. It will ruin the whole dish if you try to bite and swallow this part. This is the reason why we must remove all the silver skin before seasoning that piece of standing rib.

Guide to cook a standing rib roast on a gas grill

Step 1: Seasoning

When your luxurious meat absorbs the dry brine for three hours, it’s time to add more ingredients to it.
First, mix chopped rosemary leaves, thyme leaves, garlic cloves, and olive oil evenly into a paste.

Then, spread this mix thoroughly on every corner of the rib roast. Finally, add some more salt and black pepper, let it be at room temperature for 30 minutes more before starting to grill.

Step 2: Slow cook

Because the standing rib roast is very thick, we must grill it slowly and patiently for the meat to be cooked evenly.
When using a gas grill, always make sure the grates grill to be clean and coated with a little oil. Then, pre-heat the gas grill with the medium heat; you can also add wood chips on the grill to make the meat smoky if you’d like.

In this cooking method, we will use indirect heat to grill the standing rib roast. Why indirect heat?
As mentioned above, the meat is too thick to be cooked evenly on direct fire. If you try grilling at the direct heat, one side may get burnt quickly, while the others are not cooked.

Meanwhile, indirect heat will cook your meat thoroughly from outside to inside by steam and heat. As your meat doesn’t contact direct fire, it cannot be burnt or cooked fast. Thus, cooking over indirect heat is the best choice here.

How to cook over indirect heat?

First, create an indirect heat area inside the gas grill. The best position should be in the middle of the grates if your gas grill has three burners. Two burners are turned on at sides, and your meat will not receive direct flame inside the gas grill.

The indirect heat zone is in the middle, while two burners are working at sides.
After that, adjust the burners gradually to reach a temperature of 120 Celsius degree. Keep the lid closed for 1.5 hours before turning down the heater to register a temperature of 70 Celsius degree.

Step 3: Rest

It almost finishes now, yet you shouldn’t hurry in this step. Let your tasty smoky standing rib roast rest for 20 minutes after cooking. And you are wondering if your luxurious meat gets cool?
Well, don’t you worry, guys. As you may not know, your rib roast will get five to ten degrees hotter in this period. The rest will also allow the roast to absorb juice and seasoning powder more deeply. You will feel the taste in every bite with the juice pouring inside your mouth, while the smoke is full of your nose.

Step 4: Serve

After you let your rib roast rest about 20 minutes, put it on a plate to cut into slices. Add your favorite sauce and serve instantly with wine or champagne.

In conclusion

The question, “how do you cook a standing rib roast on a gas grill?” is now easy for you. Above are all the most straightforward steps that everyone can follow to cook the tastiest standing rib roast ever.
