List of Ingredients

HOME COOKIN’ 04/27/2011 National Prime Rib Day Coffee-Crusted Prime Rib



Coffee-Crusted Prime Rib


1 tablespoon finely ground coffee
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 beef rib eye roast (4 to 5 pounds)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups soaked wood chips, optional



Recipe


In a small bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. Tie the roast at 1-1/2- to 2-in. intervals with kitchen string. Rub seasonings over roast; cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.

Remove roast from refrigerator 1 hour before grilling; brush with oil.

Prepare grill for indirect heat, using a drip pan, adding half the wood chips if desired. Place roast over drip pan and grill, covered, over medium-low indirect heat for 2 to 2-1/2 hours or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°), adding remaining wood chips after 1 hour. Let stand for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
Yield: 12-16 servings.
