Olive~Me & Co.’s Smoked Balsamic Prime Rib

Serves 6

Ingredients:

• 1 (5-6 pound) Prime Rib
• Olive~Me & Co. extra virgin olive oil
• Salt and cracked black pepper

Balsamic Glaze:

• 1/2 cup Olive~Me & Co.’s Smoked balsamic vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons Olive~Me & Co.’s Italian Herb & Garlic olive oil

Instructions:

1. On one half of your barbecue build a fire and allow to cook down until the coals are hot. Place a hand full of smoke chips that have been soaked in water in a piece of foil and wrap to enclose the chips. Poke a few holes in the packet with a knife and place on top of the coals.
2. Drizzle the prime rib with olive oil and season well with salt and black pepper. Place on the other half of the grill without the fire below. Close the lid on the grill. Cook the Prime Rib at between 250 degrees and 300 degrees. It’s great to have an oven thermometer in your grill to help maintain the temperature. Make sure to replace the chips as need throughout the cooking. While the rib is starting to cook mix together the glaze ingredients. About every twenty minutes glaze the prime rib. Cook the Prime Rib until it reaches an internal temperature of 125 degrees. Remove from the grill and let rest about 7-10 minutes. Slice and serve warm.
