Prime Rib for Saturday

[rawk]

Here is my prep for a prime rib on Saturday.  I've never smoked one before, so hopefully it turns out good.  

This is half a boneless select ribeye. I trimmed some fat and then covered it with worcestershire sauce and then rubbed it with a mixture of black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and salt. It is wrapped and sitting the the fridge for tomorrow.  I plan on starting around noon and smoking at 225 to an IT of 135.  Resting for 1/2 or so before we slice into it.  We are also planning on trying Chef JimmyJ’s Au Jus.  Should be good.  The weather isn't looking so good here in Michigan (High of 46 with rain/snow), but it isn't supposed to be windy, so that's a plus.

Looks like a nice hunk of meat. Enjoy the Smokey Au Jus, it's good stuff. Good luck...JJ

Well here is my prime rib.  It came out awesome.  I smoked it at around 240 (my UDS likes to run there). I started at noon and it took just under six hours to smoke. I pulled it at 134 and then wrapped it in foil and a towel to let it rest for 30 minutes.  The Au Jus was great and tasted awesome with French Dip Sandwiches.

Pic of the ribeye after sitting the fridge overnight right before going in the smoker.

Here's my UDS with very thin blue smoke.  I can't even see it in the pic.

Here she is fresh off the smoker ready to get foiled for 30 minutes.

And finally some money shots.

Awesome looking prime rib! There is nothing better than smoked prime rib. What kind of wood did you use?

 

[chef jimmyj]

Looks Perfect! I'm glad you enjoyed the Au Jus...Don't for get that recipe works with any Meat. For Poultry leave out the Tomato Paste and if you choose to do so use White Wine instead of Red, with Chicken Broth. It makes great Gravy too...JJ

@whistlepig

I used apple wood to smoke.  My wife isn't a huge smoke fan, so I generally stick with something a little more mild.
