SMOKED STANDING RIB ROAST RECIPES

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.

Steps:

• Prepare the following, adding each to the same medium bowl as you complete it: Pick the leaves from 2 fresh rosemary sprigs and finely chop (about 2 tablespoons), pick the leaves from 6 fresh thyme sprigs and finely chop (about 1 tablespoon), and mince 6 garlic cloves (about 2 tablespoons).
• Add 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika. Whisk to combine.
• Using a sharp knife, cut the meat off of the bones. Rub the mixture all over the rib roast. Tie the roast back together with kitchen twine to hold the bones in place. Place the rib roast on a large plate, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
• Remove the roast from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 2 hours before roasting.
• Arrange a rack in the lower third of the oven and remove any racks above it. Heat the oven to 450°F. Place the roast bone-side down in a 12-inch cast iron skillet, roasting pan, or 9x13-inch metal baking pan.
• Roast for 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue to roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 125°F for a medium-rare roast, 1 1/2 to 2 hours more. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 30 minutes. Cut the roast away from the bones. Carve into 1/2-inch-thick slices and serve.
