Now you can prepare it on your barbeque grill that will be sure to make that special dinner even more memorable. I like to have the rib bones included in my prime rib. They can be trimmed free, but I recommend having your butcher, or grocery store tie the bones in with string. A 4 rib standing rib roast will be about 8 pounds and will feed about 8 people.
Preparation is very important when making prime rib.
Commonly, your preparation will determine the success of your prime rib. I would say preparation shares its importance equally with the quality of the cut of meat and the actual cooking. One very important step in preparation is to let your prime rib roast to stand at room temperature for at least an hour. If your rib roast was frozen, let it thaw completely in the refrigerator, then let it stand at room temperature for 1 hour. Pat the rib roast dry with a towel or napkin.
