Christmas Prime Rib Using Reverse Sear

jfarley · December 2013

The prime rib was awesome this year. Started simple with a salt and pepper rub and left open in the fridge overnight. Put a couple of oak chunks in for smoke. I've become a true believer in the reverse sear process. This one went 5 hours at a dome temp of 210. Due to time stress I kicked the dome temp up to 350 for an additional hour. Pulled the roast at an internal temp of 115 degrees. Then cranked it up to 600 degrees and gave it a 10 minute sear. The family was pleased with the results.

Very nice, welcome to the Reverse sear fan club.

Try without the bones and without a sear, see how you like it. All are good, just gives a different taste.

Yours looks great!

Did one a few weeks ago just like this and was awesome, only way I'll cook them from now one.

Was the sear at 600 indirect?... Did you just leave the setup and crank it up in temp?

Awesome. I love doing it that low. It really helps to guarantee that perfect edge to edge MR.

You did that piece of cow proud. Yum.

Thanks all. pflug, I did the 600 indirect just cranking up the temp as you surmise. I considered direct and think it also would have worked. Perhaps this one could have been a bit more browned, and I would not have been in danger of over cooking it. The middle pieces were more rare than medium-rare. No regrets - there was silence at our Christmas table as the eating commenced...
