Ingredients
Scale
6–8lb prime rib
2 tablespoons Red seasoning
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
4 tbsp Hardcore Carnivore Cowboy Butter Mix
Instructions
- Pre heat a smoker or pellet grill to 250f. Oak and mesquite are recommended woods.
- Combine the butter and Cowboy Butter Mix.
- Pat the prime rib dry with paper towels, then season well on all sides.
- Place it onto a rack sitting in a foil pan, then use a knife to spread the butter mix over the top and sides of the prime rib. The coating should be about 1/8th of an inch thick.
- Place the prime rib into the smoker and close the lid. It will take about 30 minutes per pound to cook.
- Use a turkey baster to collect the melted butter in the foil pan, and baste the prime rib every 30 minutes as it smokes.
- Remove the prime rib from the smoker when it reaches an internal temperature of 120f.
- Rest for about 20 minutes, covered loosely with foil.
- While the roast is resting, crank the smoker to 450-500f.
- Baste the prime rib one more time, then place into the smoker and cook for no more than 10 minutes to set the crust.
- Since the prime rib already rested before the final heat blast, you may slice and serve immediately.
