Ingredients
1 (5-7 bone) prime rib roast
As Needed Traeger Prime Rib Rub
2
When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 500° and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.
500 ˚F / 260 ˚C
3
Insert the probe into the thickest part of the roast, avoiding the bones and any large pockets of fat. Place the prime rib, fat-side up, directly on the grill grates, close the lid, and sear for 30 minutes (starting at a higher heat will help render the fat and develop a crispy crust).
500 ˚F / 260 ˚C
4
Reduce the Traeger temperature to 300℉. Continue to cook the roast until cooked your desired temperature (120℉ for rare, 130℉ for medium-rare, 140℉ for medium, or 150℉ for well-done) is reached, 3-4 hours more. Check the internal temperature at 30-minute intervals throughout the cook time.
300 ˚F / 149 ˚C
120 ˚F / 49 ˚C

Remove the roast from grill and let rest for 30 minutes before carving. Enjoy!
