Salt & Pepper Crusted Smoked Prime Rib

4 hr 50 min
50 min prep
4 hr cook

Serves 20

Ingredients

  • 7 lb Prime rib roast, 5 to 7 lbs.
  • 1/4 cup Extra virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
  • 1 tbsp Kosher salt, plus more as needed
  • 1 tbsp Ground black pepper, plus more as needed

Instructions

  1. Start up your smoker using either, oak, cherry, apple or pecan wood. Allow smoker to reach a temperature of 200º to 225ºF. Maintain this temperature by adding more wood as needed.
  2. While smoker preheats, preheat oven to 350ºF. Place rib roast on a roasting pan. Rub liberally with olive oil then season with salt and pepper.
  3. Place roast fat-side-up in smoker for 1 to 2 hours, depending on how much smoke flavor you prefer. Remove from smoker and place in oven to finish cooking.
  4. Roast until internal temperature reaches at least 135ºF. Remove from oven, cover with foil and allow to rest at least 20 to 25 minutes.
  5. Carve and serve with pan juices. Season to taste as needed.
  6. Chef's Note: I like to make little slits in the fat and slide in slivered garlic for extra flavor.
