Prime Rib Monday!!!!

[zr2chevy22]

So I decided to pull the Prime Rib I had in the freezer out and cook it for today since I was off work. I started by pulling it out Friday morning to start it's defrost. Sunday evening I cut the bones loose then tied them back on and did a kosher salt rub down and put it back in the fridge uncovered overnight. This morning I took the salt off and did a light coat of mustard as a binder and then a pepper, garlic and other spices rubbed on it.

I put it on the pit to smoke. I checked it half way and put my meat thermometer in to get the internal temp. 5 1/2 hours later THIS was the finished product. Medium on the ends for a few slices and medium rare for the middle slices.

Abby was outside helping the entire time. She was a tropper. Between swimming and sitting by the fans we managed to stay somewhat cool.

That looks delightful. I've never cooked one. How do you remove from bones.

I just cut down the face of the bones and follow the curve. Then I tie them back on for the cooking process. Once done they are a good snack as the prime rib rests you munch on the ribeye bones.

Thanks. What internal temp did you shoot for?

Thanks. What internal temp did you shoot for?

I shot for 135-140 which gives a medium on the end slices and a medium rare for the center. Anywhere from 130-140 is ideal in my book. Let it rest for 30-45 minutes wrapped in foil..

Another way I've done it is cook to 125, pull and let rest 30 minutes. then slice and sear in high heat cast iron or on a HOT PK Grillon each side to take it to med rare to medium..

I know that was good! I’ve taken to doing them on the Weber using a rotisserie and basting in rosemary butter.
