Smoked Prime Rib (Panned)


Still can't get enough of these things!!!

We just finished repairing my MES 40, and Temperature tested it yesterday, so what better to give it the real test than another Hickory Smoked Prime Rib!!!


I had a Small 4.72 lb Choice Prime Rib that kept winking at me every time I opened the Meat Freezer.
I just had to put a stop to that, so below is what I did about it.

Prepping (8:00 AM):———Rinse, Dry, and cut a block pattern through the fat cap to the meat. Then give it a good coat of Worcestershire “Thick”, and put it on a Wire Cooling Rack, in a Foil Pan. Then apply a little CBP, Garlic Powder, and Onion Powder. Then cover it with Plastic wrap, and put it in my fridge until Smoking Time.

Same Day Smoking Time:
11:30----------Preheat MES 40 to 220°
11:30----------Fill 2 rows of AMNPS with Hickory pellets, and light one end.
12:00----------Put Roast on wire cooling rack, in foil pan, on smoking shelf, in #2 position in smoker.
12:00----------Put smoking AMNPS on bars, to left of chip burner assembly.
3:00------------Insert sterile probe into center of Roast. Internal Temp is at 122°
3:30------------128° IT
4:00------------134° IT
4:15------------136° IT Cut Heat back to 100° and open door to get heat down to below 140°.
4:50------------138° IT Remove Prime Rib from Smoker.

Slice, plate, add sides, Take Pics, and eat.

Note: Putting Roast on wire rack in foil pan did not lessen the smoke flavor, and makes a lot less clean-up trouble.

Mrs Bear and I both agreed this was the Best One Yet !!!

Enjoy The Views,

Bear

Thanks Gary!!

This one was the most Tender Ever too---Probably because it was fattier than usual.

I just can't imagine a Choice Prime Rib being better than this Little Guy.

Thank You!!

Christmas week is also the best time to buy Prime Rib---usually the best sales of the year for that cut.

That looks awesome... if i ever muster the money and the courage to smoke a chunk of meat that expensive i will definitely be referring to your "Step by Steps" 
 
Great looking dinner! And I'll toss in a :points1: for a super clean window view!:biggrin:
 
As always, John, your PR looks incredible! No question about it...you're the Prime Rib King around here!

Nicely done Brother! Gotta give you a point for making me drool! Thumbs Up

I Looked at it again, Nice fat content, I'm sure that had to help with flavor and tenderness.

You are the Prime Rib King

Thank You JC !!!

And Thanks for the Point !

Yes, the price keeps going up, but if you find them on sale, like during Christmas Week, they're not so bad.

The good thing is, out of all the Smokes I do, a small Prime Rib like this is definitely the easiest with the biggest reward.

Any of my Smoked Prime Rib Step by Steps will take you to Beef Heaven!! (Sorry about that---I just love these things so much!!)
