Smoked Prime Rib Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Prime Rib

   Remove the prime rib from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 1 hour. Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).

2. 2

   Season the Meat

   In a small bowl, mix together kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Rub the olive oil over the prime rib, then generously apply the spice mixture all over the meat.

3. 3

   Smoke the Prime Rib

   Place the prime rib in the smoker and close the lid. Smoke for approximately 4-6 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.

4. 4

   Rest the Meat

   Once the prime rib reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the smoker and let it rest for at least 20-30 minutes before slicing.

5. 5

   Prepare the Au Jus

   While the meat is resting, heat the beef broth in a saucepan over medium heat. Scrape any drippings from the smoker tray into the broth for added flavor. Simmer for about 10 minutes.

6. 6

   Serve

   Slice the prime rib against the grain and serve with the warm au jus. Horseradish on the side can be offered upon request.
