Special Thanks to our smokin’ friends at Traeger for sharing this recipe as we tour through Ontario on our Barbecue’N Across Canada journey. There's nothing as impressive as golden-brown salt and fat-covered skin crackling on a huge cut of prime rib on a Traeger smoker. You'll be tempted to lift that lid and just to gaze into its wonder. Have you seen the new for 2025, Traeger Woodridge Pro Pellet Grill yet? If not, then come see a demo in one of our six, proudly Canadian Barbecues Galore stores near you.
- Prep Time – 5 Minutes
- Cook Time – 4 Hours
- Serves – 6 People
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 bag of Cherry flavoured pellets
- 1 (5 to 7 lb) Bone in Prime Rib Roast
DIRECTIONS:
- Coat the roast evenly with the Traeger Prime Rib Rub and wrap in plastic wrap. Let sit in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
- When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 500℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.
- Place the prime rib fat side up, directly on the grill grate and cook for 30 minutes. Starting at a higher heat will help to develop a crispy, rendered crust.
- After 30 minutes, reduce the grill temperature to 300℉. Continue to cook 3 to 4 hours or until cooked to desired internal temperature, 120℉ for rare, 130℉ for medium rare, 140℉ for medium, or 150℉ for well done. Begin checking the internal temperature in 30-minute increments with an instant-read thermometer throughout the duration of the cook. Cook time will vary based on the size of your roast and desired finished temperature.
- Remove from grill and let rest 30 minutes at room temperature before carving.
Enjoy!
