Notes

  • Always slice against the grain for best results.
  • The longer the rub is on your prime rib the better. In other words, you can put the rub on the night before and it will be even better.
  • Heat resistant gloves are a must when handling this recipe, especially during the searing stage.
  • Using a cast iron grill pan is the best, if you want those gorgeous sear markings.
  • You can add a bit of oil in your searing pan, if desired. However, I don’t use oil. This is simply a preference.
