Step 2

Combine rub ingredients in a bowl. Coat the roast generously and thoroughly with rub

Step 3

Preheat smoker to 250ºF

Step 4

Place seasoned prime rib on your smoker's grate. Insert a probe thermometer and cook until the centermost point of the roast reaches an internal temperature of 118ºF (this can take 2.5-4 hours depending on the size of your roast

Step 5

Once roast reaches temperature, remove from your smoker and let rest for about 20 minutes

Step 6

While the roast rests, preheat your grill to 450ºF. Alternatively, place a large cast iron skillet over high heat on your stove (this is to prepare to sear the meat)

Step 7

Place roast on grill or cast iron skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until meat has developed a crust on all sides

Step 8

Remove from heat and let the beef rest for another 15 minutes. Then slice, serve, and enjoy!
