Ingredients
- 6 pound Prime Rib Roast/Standing Rib Roast
- ¾ Cup beef tallow
- 3 Tablespoon Garlic Paste or Garlic Squeeze
- 2 Tablespoon coarse kosher salt or sea salt
- 1 Tablespoon Smoked Black Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon fresh thyme Finely Chopped
- 1 Tablespoon fresh Rosemary Finely Chopped
- 1 Tablespoon fresh sage Finely Chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh lavender Finely Chopped
Instructions
- Trim excess fat from the standing rib roast.
- In a bowl, combine the garlic paste, diced herbs, salt and pepper, and mix to form a uniform paste.
- Rub the prime rib with the beef tallow to completely cover the roast, then rub the top and sides of the roast with the herb paste.
- Preheat your smoker to 400 degrees. Place the prime rib roast in the smoker and cook for thirty minutes.
- Decrease the temperature of the smoker to 275 degrees. Continue to cook to an internal temperature of 123 degrees. Carty over temp will result in a nice rare+ prime rib roast. If you would like the prime rib cooked closer to medium, continue cooking to 128 degrees.
- Remove the prime rib from the smoker, cover with foil, and let rest for about 10 minutes prior to slicing.
