Title: Prime Rib?
Post by: mavrickone on March 02, 2007, 01:48:56 PM



    Hey Gang!
Have any of you smoked a prime rib roast? I didn't see anything on it and with what they cost I think I would like some expert advice before I jump into the deep end!

Thanks
Mav

Olds tossed one in around Christmas.  I don't recall any instructions but to add on to Icerat, there are many ways of preparing the outside including keeping it simple (salt and pepper) and then smoking until an internal temperature of around 125 to 135 Deg F.  Pull, wrap in HD foil until the internal hits 140 Deg F or so depending on doneness desired.  Most of my chow hounds like it rare, tasty, tender.  2 to 3 hours of smoke would be plenty but would suggest not going over 4 hours.

PR is great, this sounds odd but is what we have really become fond of... we do about a two hour smoke at low temp the day before and then bag it overnight. The rest time or whatever you want to call it seems to allow the smoke flavor to distribute real nice.

We do ours to a higher temp than most 150 to 160 degrees internal temp (which many feel is criminal - including myself for a long time). But have become accustomed and think it is great.

Oak has become a favorite. Good Luck, hope you enjoy your treat.

Southwestern Slow Cooked Prime Rib

Prime rib is one of the few meats cooked in a smoker that needs to be served as rare / medium/ or well done. Unlike a brisket which is cooked to an internal temperature of 190 degrees, today's entrée will be cooked to 125 degrees internal (within the USDA food safety guidelines) and given a southwestern spice rub and slather. Upon digging into this today, it was so tender you could cut the meat with a fork.

Here are the players



5 lb. Angus Beef Prime Rib
1 oz. Orange Pepper
1oz. Black Pepper
4 oz. Horseradish Mustard
1 oz. Chipotle Mix
3 oz. Turbinado Sugar


Mix all of the dry ingredients into a bowl and rub a small amount on to the prime rib.
After the meat is lightly covered, slather on the horseradish mustard until the meat is fully covered.




Once the meat is covered, apply the remaining dry rub on to the meat until it is uniformly covered.



Place in a preheated smoker @ 250 degrees and cook to an internal temperature of 125 degrees is reached.



After the meat has reached the desired cooking temperature, remove from smoker and let stand for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute themselves back into the meat.



Rare to medium will be pink inside with juices evident.

I did some research on this site when I did mine around Christmas time and asked a few questions at the time.  IR4's recipe sounds really good.  I must admit, I was reluctant to try the soup mix in the recipe I found here, but the results were very  good.  Here is the link to that thread:

Good luck!

     Hi Guys,
  Thanks for the info,especialll you ICE! I am thinking of doing a whole rack so I know that from restaurants it seems like it goes from well to rare from end to center. I probably would like medium as the rarest(pink) Please excuse my ignorance, but the roast I am thinking about is about $80 so its pretty good size,I am not sure of the weight? Pretty gutsy for a newbie don't ya think  ;D

Thanks
Mav

I agree.  The BS does 90% of the work.  The rest is preparation and patience, especially the latter. ;)

          I think your right Coyote, and Snoopy ( my cocker ) agrees so next week I think I will jump in the deep end,what the heck! I will let you guys know how it turns out, as for this weekend I am going to do some turkey breast which seem to work great. In the for what its worth department when I did the baby backs I put a bamboo schewer (sp) througth them and just let them stand and they turned out great! I am still a work in progress as far as the BS goes but am rapidally becomming a fan so I will probably start carrying the line, which will give me an excuse to try different things for taste test :D ;D :) That is my excuse and am sticking to it!

It is recognizing the first 4 letters of the breed. People can figure it out ... good deal in preventing over the deep end posting IMO even if the subject recognized is harmless and out of context.  ;D

Mav:  Did you cook your prime rib?  Curious to see/hear how it turned out.

On your last question regarding using the BS for P-Rib, I think the primary debate is over the crust result.  With the BS, you will find you have an extremely tender piece of cooked meat, but since the machine does not reach very high temps, there is a marked lack of crispiness on the finished product.  I did mine on the BS almost the entire time. I finished on the grill but it didn't take much time to get to the target internal temperature. 

When I do this next time, I'm thinking I will brown the roast, then put in BS for application of a couple hours of smoke, then finish off in a higher heat environment (oven or indirect grill). 

Good luck!
