I have an 8lb bone-in and a 6lb boneless I have to cook for a work dinner tonight. I’m the guest, and the best cook, so they want my help. Have an oven, a charcoal bbq pit, and an internal thermometer. Rubbed them with salt and pepper, rosemary, and thyme last night and let them sit in the fridge.

I want the most fool proof so the guy can impress his guests. So I’m thinking oven covered at 300 until they hit 130 internal and then hard sear on the grill?

Any idea how long it’ll take these things in the oven?

Definitely open to any suggestions.

Low, slow roast with a high temp sear at the end is the answer here. It’s just a matter of how you pull it off with the gear you have. It’d be hard for me with stuff I was unfamiliar with. My personal favorite method is smoking until internal around 115-120, then resting for 10 mins or so until a high temp sear.

I would take the bone in and cut it off the bone then tie it back on, much easier when it comes to carving

Low n slow until internal temp is achevied then rest followed by a high temp sear, any number of methods is fine

130 is a lot higher than I would go, I pull at 118 which will make the center rare-med rare, and ends mediumish , have the grill hot or a skillet with a little butter handy for those that want it more well done
….buy since you are cooking two roasts, maybe pull one at 118 and the other closer to 130

Good luck sounds like a good dinner

This was 120

Reverse sear. Look up chef Jean Pierre’s method on YouTube. Super easy. Works perfect.

Turn oven to 550 and cook for 5 mins a pound. Turn oven off but DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN. Let it sit in oven for 2 hours. This will be rare to medium rare.

Do this…super easy and the end product is incredible. I had a 10 lb prime rib I cooked Christmas Day using the reverse sear method. Everyone was impressed.

This is a guesstimate.

If you want a fool proof method, reverse sear with a good probe meat thermometer.

You can bake, roast, smoke, cook indirect on a grill, whatever. Just keep the temp low and cook until 5 degrees shy of your desired internal temperature.

Take out and let rest for 30 minutes while you preheat a very high heat source. Sear about 30 seconds a side.

Perfect prime rib every time, guaranteed.

That works perfect every time. I have cooked it this way for 20 plus years and haven’t overcooked one yet. It will give the exact same result as reverse searing. He asked for fool proof which to me means easy.

I've never done it myself but I go to a dinner every year after the Georgia Florida game at a friends house where they do it that way.

With all the drunks, they put a sign on the oven door - DO NOT OPEN!

Always turns out just right.

Rule #1, don't trust anyone who tells you to cook a prime rib by time. Temperature or just expect failure. I like to medium-smoke mine in the cabinet side of the stick burner. I sear before most of the time. Definitely let sit at room temp for as long as you can before, gradient will be minimized that way. I hope he has a good knife, it is fun to cut that last slice. Definitely cut off the bone then tie on as others said.

I cook mine low and slow to ensure the temp of the meat is consistant through out the whole piece of meat. I cook mine at 200 deg until the center registers 130 deg. Let it rest for 30 min and then sear on high heat. I prefer mine cooked in the oven vs smoker. But with the temps so high I would cook mine outside to keep the temps down in my house
