Well I already have 3 pork butts under my belt and now it's time for a prime rib.....

Not too bad if I do say so myself.

6# Prime Rib



Here it is in the smoker at about 100 Degrees.



Here it is just before I foiled it at 135.



And here it is My First Prime Rib Smoke



Hope the wife likes it? I sure did.

If anyone has some good rub recipes for a prime rib please let me know.
THANKS!

What a beautiful cut of meat, not real fatty like some cuts of prime rib I've seen. Did you get that at the supermarket, or a local butcher's shop? Really great looking smoke!

What kind of wood did you use on that?

Wow, that looks incredible. I love a good rare to medium-rare thick slice of prime rib as much as filet mignon. I'm going to have to try this.

Great smoke LFR! Takin the bull by the horns and throwin down a prime rib after only three butt smokes is high on the confidence scale!! Points from me too!

Here is a Prime rib or Rib Eye recipe

Prime Rib or Boneless Rib Eye

A 5 to 6 pound Prime Rib or Boneless Rib Eye
Rub
1/2 Cup Cracked Black Pepper
1/2 to 1 tsp ground Cardamom seeds

Marinade
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp granulated garlic (I use 1 tsp)
1 Cup Soy Sauce
3/4 Cup Vinegar

Trim some of the outer fat. Combine cracked black pepper and ground cardamom seeds,
rub the roast and press in with hands.

Mix all the remaining ingredients and pour over roast (those 2 gal zip lock bags work real well for this part of the technique). Refrigerate and rotate the roast a couple of times, overnight is a good time for this marinade.

Smoke or roast at temps of 250 till the internal reaches 125 to 127 internal for med rare through out.You can roast at higher pit temps (350 to 450 degrees) to get a range of med well on the outer portion of the roast to a rare center.
I like to use Fruitwoods and little oak when smoking, a light smoke is great on a cut like this, you would not want to take from the great flavor of the beef just add that touch smoke.

Here is a Horseradish Sauce to go with Beef or Ham

1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
Horseradish to taste (fresh is best but prepared works)
2 Tbsp drained capers
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp of the liquid from capers

Mix and chill
