Bone Marrow Wrapped Rotisserie Prime Rib is Insane.

Those that know me know I have has a long and luscious career making meat content for our friends at Allen Brother’s Prime Meats. What started as a fun pandemic project tsunamied into a full blown campaign to outdo ever meat recipe there is. We cooked Evan Funke’s 5 hour ragu, a heritage prime rib wrapped chateaubriand recipe from 1712, and even cooked caveman style right on the coals.

This however… takes the cake.

The Bone Marrow Wrapped Rotisserie Prime Rib is the stuff dreams are made of (or nightmares if your a vagitarian). The concept is simple; take a perfect prime rib roast encased in 6 beef bones and slow roast it on an open fire so the bone marrow cooks the roast to perfection. If it sounds insane, it is, and yes, it is worth it.

Recipe:

• Soak your split beef bones in salted water for an hour. This will bring out any impurities.
• Season your 6 lbs Prime Rib roast with salt and pepper.
• Take the bones, marrow side facing the meat, and encircle the roast.
• Tie the bones to the meat using butcher twine nice and tight.
• Skewer the roast onto a rotisserie and place on your grill.
• Optional: Chop up some roastable vegetables and place in a tray under the roast.
• Grill at 275 F. with indirect heat for around 4 hours or until the internal temperature is 125 degrees
• Remove bones and let rest 15 minutes.
• Optional: throw some butter in a pan and sear the outside of the meat before slicing and serving.

While it looks post-apocalyptic it is actually a very simple, and amazingly delicious way to perfectly cook prime rib. It has all the benefits of a slow roast or sued vide, but with all the flavor of the grill. The bones are not just a gimmick; they shield meat from the heat and create a conduit so that the prime rib cooks perfectly at the same temperature throughout. There is no gradient from pink to gray like other cooking methods. This is a rib fit for a queen (or king).

Also did I mention it’s covered in bone marrow?

We ended up making some butter of the gods (just bone marrow butter compound) and some sweet potato mash to go with our amazing meat. On a scale from 1 to 10 it was an “oh dear Lord”. Enjoy.
