Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Herbaceous Grilled Prime Rib
  1. Remove the prime rib roast from the refrigerator and let it stand at room temperature for 1-2 hours.
  2. In a bowl, combine olive oil, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, thyme, and basil. Mix well and apply over the entire surface of the prime rib.
  3. Preheat your grill to 250°F (120°C) using indirect heat, placing a drip pan filled with water underneath if desired.
  4. Position the prime rib fat side up directly over the grill grates, close the lid, and slow cook for approximately 2-3 hours, monitoring the internal temperature.
  5. Increase the grill temperature to 400°F (204°C) for a finishing sear, cooking for an additional 30-40 minutes until the internal temperature reaches around 135°F (57°C).
  6. Remove the prime rib, let it rest under aluminum foil for at least 30 minutes, then slice against the grain and serve.
