Well lets get this thread started with some food porn..
B995E8FD-F15E-42EF-9DA3-22E48D717012.jpeg


So both of my kids are adults now. Due to their work schedules we are basically doing our Xmas today. This above will marinate in this rub until I put it on the smoker.

In the past, my prime ribs, which turn out amazing are reverse seared. I smoke them at 225ish until internal temp of 125, and then I sear 360 degrees of the prime rib over the red hot coals. Giving you the perfect internal temp, perfect crust and an internal temp of 135, which is what my family prefers. I have posted on this channel on prior recipes I have done doing this way. That way was with bone and butcher twined back on and I didnt trim much fat off the prime rib… in the searing process, sometimes the butcher twine burns into and the ribs fall away from the meat.. nothing major. But it happens.

One of the guys on you tube that I watch is “Meat Church”. He does thing pretty similar, however he removes the bone, trims most of the fat, smokes it then recommends you to sear it, if you want.

So… Whats my plan… As you can see, this prime rib has been trimmed way down. No bones, very little fat. I used Worschestire sauce to get the “rub” to stick. I do not use his rubs, this time my rub is first black pepper, salt, rosemary, a decent sprinkling of my top secret rub…. This will sit in the fridge until about 3-6 hours prior to dinner time. Then I will use my Weber Summit, set a lump charcoal fire on one side of it, put the prime rib on the non fire side of it, and smoke it until the internal temp of 125ish, then it will get flopped over the coals for a sear on all 360 degrees. Rest for 15-20 minutes… Then I gonna rip into it..

owe… you probably asking your self, if your prior recipes are pretty fucking good, why would you try a different one… yep… I struggled wit h that also. The why is pretty simple. We all know one of the best parts of a prime rib is the “crust”… this recipe will give me alot more crust, because there is no bone in the way on the bottom, allowing crust on bottom, and…. and, because I trimmed alot of the fat off the top, I wont be cutting those “bites” off when I eat it.. so the answer is “HOPEFULLY MUCH BETTER CRUST”….

So thats the cooking plan… Not sure if this will be better than my prior recipes…

Wish me luck.

I'm loving the different prime rib ideas. I see you are using Worcestershire sauce to get the spices to stick. I myself use a bit of olive oil for the same reason. Please let us know if the Worcestershire sauce works well, or will it overpower the rib flavor.

My past recipes, you will see on here… I ahve used Olive Oil, and I even made a butter paste, which was my favorite until today. So time will tell, if I move away from butter paste..

My Olive Oil or Butter Paste— recipe
Get 2 sticks of butter down to room temperature.
mix in some finely diced onions, finely diced garlic, diced rosemary, horsh radish mustard, good helping of your rub…
Coat the prime rib 360 degrees with this paste, and put it in the fridge for 48 hours prior to cooking it….
4-5 hours prior to cooking it, put it on the counter to bring it up to room temperature…

This way freaking works… trust me… its damn good. That 48 hours allows those flavors to penetrate into the meat.

I can get into that butter paste!

Thinking about it, we've been rubbing pork chops with mayonnaise before adding the "Shake and Bake" stuff, and love the flavor. Have you ever considered using mayo as a base on prime rib? Thinking about it, maybe a bit too rich? I don't know, just bouncing ideas off the experts in here.

have you ever made toast or toasted a hamburger bun with mayonaise instead of butter… its the bomb. Seriously you should try it.

But no… I have not used Mayo on a prime rib… I guess my question is how would it hold up, or react in the reverse searing part, of the cook?????

Again, that would be my concern about using it… I mean it holds up quite well on bread, but thats not direct flames… hummmm

I think you should be the guinea pig, take one for the team, and try it out on a prime rib.
If it turns out great, you get 100% of the credit, cause its your idea…
and if it doesnt, you save us the hassle of ruining a great piece of meat…
Yeah… your taking one for the team on this one… Batter up.

Yeah… trimming most of the fat, removing the bones, worcheshire and rub for 48 hours, smoke at 225 then reverse sear..
That crust was the bomb. To bad there are only two end cuts… But I damn sure had one.

Recipe development is over… I have my recipe now…

I cant say that using worcheshire is better than my other wet rubs on the flavor aspect… but its alot easier, and the crust on this one was great.

Thats looks fantastic, how did it eat?
It was the best Choice Rib Roast at the grocery store I was at.
The marbling was not the greatest, it wasnt the most tender…

But for $6.99/lb… mighty fucking good….
As I have stated on other threads… I have paid $28.99/lb and got screwed…

Now that I am extremely confident my recipe… process… I will do my best to get a “Prime“ Rib roast next time.

Try mustard next time. It's what I use to bind on briskets. Most rubs contain dry mustard.

Yeah.. pretty sure I see your point.. and thanks for pointing it out.

Me.. I do consider myself a christian, but I am anti church, for lots of reasons. But to boil it down quickly… Hipocrosy, of the people running the churches, and the shit they repeatly get caught doing. So why should I listen to someone who doesn’t honor what they preach. I will just leave it at that.

(Side bar) One of my favorite jokes: Whats the fastest way to get a nun pregnant, dress her up as an alter boy…,
hoping your picking up what I am putting down.

So, yes, my tendancy is was to abbreviate it, literally to be faster in my typing, but I respect your opinion to spell it out, and will do my best to spell it out in the future.

On Thanksgiving I smoked a dry aged turkey and a 9 lb. prime rib. It was by all accounts, amazing. So this time around I'm doing it reverse seared and cooked in the oven.
Dry aged in the refrigerator for 5 days, seasoned with kosher salt, cracked pepper, rosemary and garlic plus a lot of herb de province. Garlic cloves inserted in various places, and sitting on a rack above a thick layer of salt for easy clean up. 13.3 lbs before drying.
Wish me luck I'm going in . . .

15 min. at an honest 500 may have been a bit too long. Pulled from oven at 115 after cooking at 300-325. Served after sitting for about 30min. at 130 but it was much more medium than rare. Served 8 with 4 pieces plus the ribs left for tomorrow.

Did you wrap it in foil as it was resting?

Nothing more than a sheet simply laid across the top. My thoughts today are that it was a combination of time at 500 AND the dry aging before hand. This one we did 5 days and the one at Thanksgiving was aged for 4. The recent roast was much drier it seemed when I seasoned it. Multiple thermometers confirmed it came out at 115-119*

It is amazing the difference when pulling the meat out at 115 degrees rather than 119 degrees.
