PRIME RIB SMOKING RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• For the prime rib: Rub the prime rib with the spice rub, put in the refrigerate on a rack set over a baking sheet (uncovered) and let marinate for at least 4 hours and up to 8 hours. 
• For the red wine steak sauce: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallots and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, increase the heat to high and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the wine, ketchup, 1/2 cup water, raisins, molasses, brown sugar, horseradish, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire, cayenne, allspice and salt and pepper to taste and cook for 10 minutes longer. Add a splash of red wine vinegar, and taste for salt and pepper. Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. Let cool to room temperature. 
• Prepare your grill using a kamada-style grill, kettle grill, bullet smoker or gas grill method for smoking. Remove the prime rib from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking and let sit at room temperature. Sprinkle well with salt and put the prime rib, fat-side up, on the grill grate. Maintaining a temperature of about 250 degrees F (if using a kettle grill or bullet smoker, replenish fire with unlit coals, as needed, to maintain temperature; see manufacturer's instructions), cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center reads 130 degrees F, between 3 1/2 to 4 hours. During the last hour of cooking (at about 110 degrees F), begin brushing with some of the red wine steak sauce and stop adding chips to the smoker. Remove the prime rib from the grill, brush with more of the red wine steak sauce and let rest, loosely covered with foil, for 20 minutes before slicing.
• Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.

Steps:

• Pre-warm your smoker to 450°F ready for the first part of the cook.
• Prep the prime rib roast by making sure the bones are clean and then truss the meat with butcher’s twine.
• Combine the herb and garlic compound butter ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
• Place roughly chopped onion quarters, garlic and fresh herbs in a cast iron pan.
• Place the rib roast bone side up in the pan and apply herb and garlic butter to this side, turn over and apply to the rest of the rib roast, including the sides. Rresere any leftover for later.
• Place the rib roast in the smoker and cook at at 450° for 20 minutes.
• After 20 minutes, apply the last of the herb and garlic butter to the top of the prime rib roast and lower the temp to 250°F.
• Baste the rib roast every 30 minutes with the buttery juices from the pan.
• Once the prime rib roast reaches an internal temp of 118°F, take it out of the smoker for a 20 minute rest.
• While the rib roast is resting, place the cast iron pan over a high heat, add in the beef broth and red wine and simmer for 15 minutes and allow the sauce to reduce.
• After 15 minutes, strain the sauce and add to a gravy jug.
• Slice the prime rib roast into single rib eyes, remove the bones and slice into ¼” to ⅓” slices, drizzle with the red wine sauce and serve immediately.
