How to Make the Perfect Mouthwatering Smoked Prime Rib Roast!
THE Holiday Main Course: The Standing Rib Roast/Prime Rib Roast Called the Prime Rib roast based on the cut of the meat, not the grade. The main muscle in the beef rib is the longissimus dorsi, or rib eye muscle, situated high on the back of the cow. Because this muscle doesn’t get much exercise, it yields some of the tenderest meat. It also can develop excellent marbling, which imparts moisture and flavor to the meat. The degree of marbling visible in the rib eye muscle specifically is one of the most important factors in grading beef. More marbling generally earns a higher grade. The beef rib primal cut offers some of the most tender, flavorful and generally desirable steaks and roasts.

Your favorite Rub (We used Cattleman’s Grill Trail Dust )
1. Cover the roast w/a light coat of avocado oil to use as a binder and generously coat with rub.
2. Place the roast on a cooling rack over a cookie sheet into a cool smoker.
3. Start the smoker and allow it to rise to 250°F. Smoke the roast to an internal temperature of 118°F and remove from smoker.
4. Transfer roast and rack to a new cookie sheet and drain drippings for later use. Allow the roast to rest for a minimum of 30 minutes lightly tented w/foil.
5. Increase smoker temperature to 450°F and remove the diffuser plate. Place the roast directly over flame for 1-2 minutes on each side, until desired char is obtained.
6. Remove the roast from smoker. Carve immediately as no further resting is required. Serve and ENJOY!
