Bear’s Smoked Prime Rib (Easter—Cherry Smoke)
For a number of years, we’ve been having our Easter Dinner at Bear Jr’s house, but this time his In-laws couldn’t make it to his house, so there was only the 4 of us. That meant we had room at our small Log House.
Also we usually have Ham for Easter, but I can do without the extra sodium, so I decided to Smoke one of my Signature Prime Ribs, and everybody seemed to like the idea.
So I picked one from the Freezer that was 5.62 pounds, and did the 3 day Thaw in my Fridge (After about 3 hours in the sink). I decided on Cherry, because I just got some Cherry Dust from Todd.
Prepping (3-31-18):
Rinse, Dry, and cut a block pattern through the fat cap to the meat. Then apply a coating of Lea & Perrin’s Bold Steak Sauce, CBP, Garlic Powder, and Onion Powder. Put Roast on a Wire Cooling Rack in a Foil Pan. Then covered it in Plastic wrap, and put it in my fridge for the night.
Smoking Day (4-1-18):
10:15—————Preheat MES 40 to 225* (Shooting for 140°—142° IT at 4 PM)
10:15—————Fill 2 rows of my AMNS with Cherry Dust, and light one end.
11:00—————Put Roast on wire rack, in foil pan, on a rack, in #2 position in smoker.
11:00—————Put smoking AMNS on right end of bottom rack in my Gen #2.5 MES 40.
1:30------------Insert sterile probe into center of Roast. Internal Temp is at 112°
3:00------------133° IT---Put 4 of Mrs Bear’s Twice Baked Taters (Cheese & Bacon) in Smoker.
3:30—————-138° IT— Cut heat to 140° to stop the cooking.
3:55—————-142° IT Remove Roast to Kitchen for slicing.
3:55—————-Also Remove Twice Baked Taters from Smoker.
Slice, plate, add sides, and eat.
Don't miss the Desserts!!!
Hope You Enjoy,
Bear
