How to cook a smoked prime rib on a Ninja Woodfire Grill with all-natural woodfire flavor and a nice crust.
Equipment
- Ninja Woodfire Grill
Ingredients
- 7 lb prime rib roast boneless
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
- 1 tbsp coarse ground black pepper
- 2 tsp granulated garlic
- 1/2 tsp allspice
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary chopped
Instructions
- Season: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, allspice and fresh herbs. Score the fat cap with a knife, creating a diamond pattern. Rub the seasoning on all sides. Let rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Heat Grill: Add a cup of wood pellets to the Ninja Woodfire Grill smoke box. Set the grill function to smoker. Set the temperature to 250F/120C degrees and the time to 3 hours.
- Smoke: Add the prime rib to the smoker with the fat cap up. Smoke for about 90 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 105F/40C degrees.
- Sear: Increase the grill temperature to 400F/205C degrees. Cook the roast for 15 more minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 125F/52C degrees.
- Rest: Remove the roast from the grill. Tent loosely with foil and let rest for 15-30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes
If you prefer your roast cooked further than medium rare, let it sear an additional 5-15 minutes. If you like it really well done, so there is no pink, keep an eye on the crust during this phase, so it doesn’t burn.
