Smoked my first prime rib!

[TonyBen]

My friend is an over the road trucker and will be gone for Christmas. He bought a 4.75 pound prime rib from a local butcher. He said it cost around $105. He asked me to cook it and to have a guy's night with prime rib, beer, bourbon, scotch, and three episodes of John Wick. We invited a third friend over and went to town!

I've never cooked a prime rib, so I did a little reading here and there and watched a few YT vids on the topic. I opted for the worcestershire sauce rub with Montreal steak seasoning all around. Smoked it at 225˚ until it hit 125˚ and pulled and wrapped/rested in the empty ice chest for an hour and a half. Finished off with a 500˚ sear for 12 minutes.

I told them I've never done this before and that I'm not normally a medium-rare meat eater, so I really had no idea if my prime rib turned out properly. I gave it my best shot though.

Bacon, brussel sprouts and mushrooms...

Both my friends said it came out excellent, so I'll mark that down as a win!

How's it look to you?

The Prime Rib looks prefect and is exactly what I have planned for next Sunday. I hope my comes out as good as yours!

Couldn't have done it without you guys. I did a thorough search here before I tried it.

That is definitely what I am going to try and accomplish my first time at it on Friday. How did you go about getting the 500 degree sear?

I have a RecTeq RT-700. After I pulled it, I lowered it to smoke while the roast rested. 30 minutes before I was ready to sear it, I cranked the grill up to max. It reached 525˚ at the end of the rest time and I threw it in for 12 minutes.

I pulled it out and sliced about 20 minutes later. I was busy making my side-dishes. If they were ready, I would have sliced it immediately.

Killed the rest for lunch today. Put it in the toaster oven to warm it up and finished it off.

Yum!

Last night's lineup...

Looked a lot like this from a couple of weeks ago...

I trained a German service tech a few years ago when I was in Singapore and he was visiting this month. He brought me six authentic German beers from where he lives. I drank two of them last night. Amazing beer!

That Spaten is GOOD beer! Prime rib looked excellent to. I have yet to do one because my wife won't touch pink meat. May sneak one in any ways and grill her slice a little to brown it up :-D
