Smoked Prime Rib Recipe

I love prime rib recipes. There is nothing like a juicy, tasty rib roast with a gorgeous sear. I have made this beautiful cut of beef in just about every way you can think of, especially for the holidays. I have to say, a smoked rib eye roast may be my favorite way to make it! The flavor you get from smoking a rib roast is unlike any other, and oh, how tender and juicy it is! It’s just plain irresistible. Give it a try and I know you will want to find every excuse to smoke prime rib from now on.

How to Smoke a Prime Rib

Smoking a Prime Rib Tips

Always slice against the grain for best results.The longer the rub is on your prime rib the better. In other words, you can put the rub on the night before and it will be even better.Heat-resistant gloves are a must when handling this recipe, especially during the searing stage.Using a cast iron grill pan is best if you want those gorgeous sear markings.You can add a bit of oil to your searing pan if you prefer. However, I don’t use oil. This is simply a preference.

How Long to Smoke a Prime Rib

I smoke a 5-pound rib roast for about 3 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 130 degrees. You will have to increase the time for largers cuts.

What Temp To Cook Ribeye Roast

285 degrees Fahrenheit for a beautiful outside crust, tender middle, and plenty of flavor in just 3 hours.
