Smoked Prime Rib Recipe

This Smoked Prime Rib is flexing so hard at the cookout that a nearby Karen called the police. So much flavor going on it has to be illegal, right? Karen saw all that seasoning and got suspicious. But after the cops left, we still invited her over for a slice. And then she started screaming that the beef was “raw” and her whole family jumped into this post’s comments section.

Prime Rib

  1. In a small bowl, mix together salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme until well-combined. Coat exterior of roast completely. Double-wrap roast in plastic wrap then refrigerate overnight.
  2. Let roast come to room temperature for 2-3 hours prior to smoking.
  3. Preheat smoker to 225ºF. We used a blend of hickory and applewood for smoking. For medium rare, smoke roast until about ~110ºF.
  4. When roast is about 10 minutes away from hitting target temp, preheat oven to 450ºF.
  5. Once roast hits 110ºF, remove it from smoker, place it in a roasting pan, and reverse sear it until it hits ~120ºF. Remove it from oven (don’t tent it) and let rest 15-20 minutes (it should cook up about 5ºF). Serve in 1/2” slices topped with Garlic & Horseradish Compound Butter.
