Instead of turkey......

For Thanksgiving we decided not to do the traditional meal. I had picked up a 8lb, 3 bone ribeye. Let it dry age for 9 days. Did not seperate the bones. Rubbed it down with Montreal and let it sit for a while.

Set the smobot for 250F on the XL, set my probes and let it roll....until Internal Temp was 109, about 3 hours, Pulled off the egg and let rest.

I had my large egg running at about 650F, so put the roast on the large for 2 or 3 minutes a side, until crispy.

The mini Max was busy cooking my sweet onions, butter, teriyaki, and mushrooms. Sliced the roast and placed it on my wifes favorite china for the meal. Probably one of the best rib roast that I have ever cooked.


Thanks for looking!

  • I'm gonna do this Sunday w an 8 pound boneless rib roast I picked up today.  I hope mine turns out as good looking as yours!  Did you go to App. My oldest son graduated from there in '06.   I think I will reverse sear like you did too. Only have the one large Egg, so I guess I will pull and open it up to 600ish then put back on

    Cooked a nice choice for Christmas as well, but on the large. Basically the same way. I would suggest placing your probes through the roast in the middle to get a pull temperature. I leave the bones on the roast for they are my favorite part. Without the bones it will cook faster, so be carefull.

    I did go to App. Graduated in 1986 with a Masters in woodworking and pottery. Thanks for looking!

    After college, I spent the next 28 years or so chasing largemouth bass all over the east coast fishing tournaments. Was a lot of fun and learned a lot about wildlife.

    Since retiring, I think I am going to fish a lot more, just have not got to it yet.
