Prime rib

Rolling Egg · May 2009

I have 4.7 pound bone in rib roast and I need some opinions on the best recipe. Favorite rub? I was going to cook indirect at 240 or so until 125 internal and then go direct for a nice sear/crust. Any ideas?

you've got the right idea for the reverse sear method!
As for a rub here's my suggestion:

RRP’s Prime Rib Rub – Though it’s not really mine!
As for a rub I love this one. I just wish I knew where I got it so as to give proper credit as it is not my formulation! It's terrific on prime rib...what with this rub seared on the outside and then the rare tasty meat on the inside!
This quantity will make enough rub for a 2.5 pound boneless prime rib.

1 T ground (dry) mustard
1.5 tea table salt
0.5 tea paprika
.25 tea ground allspice
.25 tea fresh ground pepper
1 tea granulated onion powder
0.5 tea garlic powder
Wet prime rib with Worcestershire and apply rub. Because I like more salt I also sprinkle it with coarse Kosher salt as well.

Im thinking about using DP red eye express. It says for beef and man does it smell good! I also have some cherry wood. Any thoughts on these?

I sure liked the one I did. I followed thirdeyes method found at Playing With Smoke and Fire.

I didn't do the end sear but wish I would have.

If you like the smell of the Red Eye Express that would be a good choice.

I looked at RRP's mix above and that looks excelent and no matter what you use I would first rub with Worcestershire first.

On mine I used what thirdeye suggested.

Any of the three would be a good choice.

One of the things I love about this forum is the prescience the questions have for me. Tommorow I'm doing a prime rib and I'll use the rub posted above and follow thirdeyes instructions at http://playingwithfireandsmoke.blogspot.com/1996/03/beef-standing-rib-roast-prime-rib.html.

Thanks for the link and recipe.
