Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Prime Rib

    Season the prime rib with salt and black pepper. Smoke the prime rib at 225°F (107°C) for about 3-4 hours until it reaches your desired doneness. Allow it to rest for 20 minutes before slicing.

  2. 2

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In another skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Make BBQ Aioli

    In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise and BBQ sauce until smooth. Set aside.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the brioche buns and layer with smoked prime rib, bacon, caramelized onions, and jack cheese. Drizzle BBQ aioli on top and close the sandwich.

  6. 6

    Prepare Au Jus

    In a saucepan, heat beef stock until simmering. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the sandwiches with a side of au jus for dipping.
