BBQing a rib of beef?

[Bill]

I have a 3" thick 1.8kg rib to cook tomorrow and it's bound to fall over if I put it in the oven, so I was thinking of BBQing it.

So, daft plan, or not?

And how long do you reckon? Direct heat with a lid I think, but I'm not sure.

I'd get the BBQ stupid hot, heavily season and sear the beef all over until it looks BBQ'd then bung it in the oven at about 160 for half an hour - 45 mins.

Good call, cheers. It'll free the BBQ up for the kids' burgers
