SUNDAY NIGHT’S PRIME RIB FOR TWO

Here is a barbecued Prime Rib that’s perfect for a small family.

INGREDIENTS
2   2   garlic cloves, minced
    Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 lb   1 kg   Beef Prime Rib Premium Oven Roast about 2”/5 cm (1 rib) thick

PREPARATION TIME: 10 min
COOKING TIME: 50 min

DIRECTIONS
Rub roast with seasonings. Insert meat thermometer sideways into centre of roast so that shaft is not visible, avoiding fat and bone. Place drip pan containing 1/2" (1 cm) water under grill on one side of the barbecue. Heat barbecue to 400º F (200ºC), using medium-high heat. Place roast on grill over flame and cook 5 min/side. Move roast to grill over the drip pan; turn heat off under just the roast. Cook in closed barbecue, maintaining constant heat, until thermometer reads 140°F (60°C) for medium-rare (about 50 min) or cook to desired doneness. Remove roast to cutting board; tent with foil for 5-10 min to allow temperature to rise 5ºF (3ºC).

Carve meat from bone and then cut in half across the grain into 2 thick slices to serve.

Oven Roasting: Cook roast from frozen. Rub frozen roast with some Dijon mustard and seasonings as above. Cook on rack in shallow pan in 325°F (160°C) oven for about 1 1/2 - 2 h, testing doneness with thermometer.
