1
Turn your Traeger on the SMOKE setting for 5-10 minutes with the lid open. Then turn grill to the HIGH setting.
2
Cut rib loin in half (roast halves separately for more controlled/even cooking.) Sear both halves in olive oil over very high heat until nice dark golden color.
3
Place tricolor peppercorns into a bag, crush pepper corns with a rolling pin.
4
Strip the leaves from the rosemary and thyme springs. Mix salt, crushed peppercorns, rosemary leaves, thyme leaves and garlic.
5
Pour olive oil over the rib loin and pour on the rub mix. Pat slightly to get it to stick to the meat.
6
Roast for 20-30 minutes on HIGH setting, then reduce heat to 300°F and roast for another 30 to 40 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 125 degrees F for rare/medium rare (roast will continue to cook slightly after removing from the grill).
