Garlic Butter Smoked Prime Rib

rib roast

salt and pepper

oz butter

garlic (minced)

rosemary (finely minced)

thyme (finely minced)

salt

black pepper

Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees F for indirect cooking using a hardwood like oak or hickory for smoking.

While the grill is warming up, prepare your roast. Trim any excess fat from the top of the roast down to 1/4 inch thick. Season on all sides with an even sprinkling of salt and pepper.

In a small bowl combine the softened butter, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper. Slather the entire roast with the butter mixture.

Place the roast on a flat rack elevated above a baking sheet, place on the smoker and close the lid. Smoke until the internal temperature of the roast reaches 120 degrees F for Rare or 128 degrees F for Medium. For a rare, bone-in roast, plan on 35 minutes per pound of prime rib.

Remove the roast to a cutting board and allow to rest for 20 minutes. Strain the butter and drippings from the baking sheet into a separate bowl and set aside.

While the roast is resting, increase the temperature of your grill to 400 degrees F.

Once the grill is up to temperature, return the roast to the grill and sear until you reach your desired internal temperature. Pull the roast off at 130 degrees F for rare, 135 for medium rare, 140 for medium. This process should go quickly, so keep an eye on your temperature.

Remove your roast to the cutting board and let the meat rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

When it comes to holiday meals, smoked prime rib is the ultimate. Gather your friends and family, and get ready to share one of the greatest cuts of meat you&#x27;ve ever sunk your teeth into.

Smoked Prime Rib (recipe and video)

extra virgin olive oil

pepper

garlic

rosemary

thyme

sage

Place ingredients into a food processor and pulse a few times until combined into a chunky paste. (double recipe if roast is over 5 pounds)

For the Herb Paste

If the bone has already been removed, then remove the string and bone to trim excess fat off of meat, and pat dry. Using butchers twine, tie the bones back onto the roast. If the bone has not been removed simply remove after cooking.

Apply olive oil, and salt and pepper generously to the rib roast. Then apply the paste. Store overnight in the refrigerator to allow the seasoning to incorporate into the meat.

Preheat Smoker to 225 degrees using a fruit wood like Apple or Cherry. Oak also works well.

Place the seasoned rib roast on the smoker bone side down (acts as heat shield). Insert any Bluetooth thermometer at this time to monitor the ongoing temperature of the roast while cooking like the Thermoworks Smoke Unit.

Continue cooking roast for 3 1/2 hours or until the center of the meat reads 125 degrees F using an instant read thermometer for rare. (At 225 degrees plan 40 minutes cooking time per pound). Use an instant read thermometer to probe in multiple areas toward the center of the cut.

Remove Prime Rib from smoker and let sit, tented in foil, for 30 minutes.

Slice and serve.

Smoked Prime Rib with Herb Paste

This Smoked Prime Rib is sure to be the star of any occasion and a fitting centerpiece to holiday meals! Check out all of my tips and walk-through instructions for perfectly smoking your boneless prime rib or standing rib roast!

lb prime rib ((boneless

Tbsp kosher salt

Tbsp coarse ground pepper ((freshly ground is best))

Tbsp paprika

garlic powder

onion powder

tsp chili powder ((or cayenne pepper

prepare

Rinse your prime rib roast in cool running water, and pat dry with paper towels. Remove any excess fat or silver skin, if desired.

trim

If your standing rib roast has been cut from the bone and tied, remove the butcher twine and trim any fat as needed.

(optional) Tie the rib roast with butcher twine. For a bone-in roast, tie between the bones. For boneless roasts, tie every 1.5 inches down the length of the roast.

Preparation

combine

Combine dry rub ingredients in a small bowl (salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried rosemary and the optional chili powder or cayenne pepper) and set aside.

season

Place the prime rib on a baking sheet or in a baking dish and sprinkle the dry rub over, using one half for each side. Massage the dry rub into place and roll the edges in the excess that is on the baking sheet to coat the entire surface of your roast. *Don&#39;t be shy with the seasoning!

Prime Rib Dry Rub

preheat

Prepare your smoker. Place the wood pellets/chips in your tray, and preheat the smoker to 225°F (107°C) according to the manufacturer instructions. *I like hickory and oak for prime rib, followed by maple, pecan, or walnut. Fruit trees like cherry or apple are also nice.

smoke

Transfer the rubbed prime rib roast to the smoker rack (bone side down for a standing rib roast) in your preheated smoker. Close the lid or door and smoke for approximately 3 hours 20 minutes (or about 40 minutes per pound for a 5 pound prime rib), until the internal temperature of the roast reaches your desired doneness in the next step below.

rest

When the roast has an internal temperature of 120-125°F (49-52°C) for RARE, 125-129°F (52-54°C) for MEDIUM RARE, 130-139°F (54-59°C) for MEDIUM, and 140-145°F (60-63°C) for MEDIUM DONE remove the roast from your smoker and allow it to rest tented loosely with aluminum foil for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Smoking The Prime Rib

heat

To reverse sear your prime rib before serving, remove the roast about 10°F (5.5°C) below the temperature of your desired doneness listed above. Transfer the roast to a cutting board or platter and cover with aluminum foil while you bring the temperature of your smoker up to 400°F (205°C).

sear

Once your smoker is fully heated, return the roast and sear until the internal temperature is 130°F (54°C) for RARE, 135°F (57°C) for MEDIUM RARE, and 140°F (60°C) for MEDIUM. *Keep a close eye on your prime rib as this searing step moves along quickly.

Remove your prime rib from the smoker and replace the aluminum foil over the roast to rest for at least 15 minutes before serving.

(Optional) Reverse Sear
