Prime Rib Under Done

[COJeff]

I smoked a small prime rib roast a few months back, and I'm not sure why this come out the way that it did. I smoked to 125degF, but this seems way under done for this temperature. Where did I go wrong?

Huh? Looks perfect to me.
Looks right for 125° with a carry over.
Not under done at all.

130° with carry over.

I'm going to assume you are not trolling.. Both pics look absolutely perfect, you even achieved your ideal doneness on the cap. Coast-to-coast

Depending on the smoker temp, 225 vs 300+, you will get 5°-10° of carryover.
If your Rested IT was 125, that meat is a Perfect Rare, 120-125. Med/Rare is 130-135...JJ

That can be fixed easy enough, just heat it in pan with broth or au jus if not done to your liking.

Prime rib always looks underdone to me.

Not trolling, I followed Malcom Reed, and my color was not close to what he got. Pretty sure he stated 125degF

Both look very good from here. I like Medium Rare personally.

That is the perfect color for Beef that hit 125, after a rest.
If you Pulled the beef from the smoker at 125, check your Therm Accuracy and think about your Thermometer Placement...If the Thermometer was not Centered or not Deep enough, it will read Higher than the actual meats center. Same if the Tip was in the tasty Fat running along the Ribeye... Been There, Done That! The Head Chef was Not Happy!...JJ
