Most people reserve prime rib roast for special occasions, but we think this cut should be savoured year round. We\u2019ve lived together in Texas for over five years, and one thing that the lone star state has taught us is to barbecue and smoke everything, prime rib included. Follow along because we\u2019re going to teach you how to perfectly smoke a prime rib roast.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WyJLoBCgLyk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Smoking meat is a fantastic way to add flavor to your prime rib.

We like to do this the day prior to smoking the meat, and leave it in the fridge uncovered. Applying a generous amount of salt and coarse spices helps to permeate the prime rib and draw out the juices. We used the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/product\/Private-Reserve-Rub-1-58-oz-03026?SRC=RZ0636\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\">Private Reserve Rub<\/a> seasoning.

For a rare to medium rare prime rib roast you should plan between 35-37 minutes per pound at this temperature, but to be safe having a meat thermometer in your roast while smoking will help you achieve optimal smokey results.<\/p>\n<h4>Step 3: Sear your prime rib<\/h4>\n<p>While your smoker is getting up to temp take your prime rib out of the refrigerator and sear on all sides using grapeseed oil.\u00a0 Grapeseed oil is great for searing meat because the oil has an extremely high smoke point meaning you can get your pan scorching hot for a quick sear.

With a 4 lb prime rib roast you should plan for the meat to take around 2 hours to cook, but place your meat thermometer in the meat at the beginning to watch the temperature grow throughout the smoking process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Step 5: Let it rest<\/h4>\n<p>We love our smoked prime rib medium rare, so we pull it off the smoker when it reaches an internal temperature of 125 degrees fahrenheit. Once pulled from the smoke we allow it to rest for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing.\u00a0 When you let your meat rest the temperature continues to rise internally, and the tasty juices settle.<\/p>\n<p><em>Tips<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>When you put your prime rib in your smoker be sure to place the fatcap up.\u00a0 This is important because fat is flavor, and as it cooks that flavor will melt into the meat.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>\u200b<\/h4>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/smoked-prime-rib-karen-holding-BLOG.png&#8221; alt=&#8221;How to Smoke a Prime Rib&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px|0px|0px|0px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|0px|0px|0px&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index_tablet=&#8221;500&#8243; text_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; text_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; text_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; link_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; link_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; link_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; ul_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; ul_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; ul_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; ol_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; ol_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; ol_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; quote_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; quote_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; quote_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; header_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; header_2_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_2_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_2_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; header_3_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_3_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_3_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; header_4_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_4_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_4_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; header_5_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_5_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_5_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; header_6_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_6_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_6_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; box_shadow_horizontal_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; box_shadow_vertical_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; box_shadow_blur_tablet=&#8221;40px&#8221; box_shadow_spread_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n\n\t\t<div class='author-shortcodes'>\n\t\t\t<div class='author-inner'>\n\t\t\t\t<div class='author-image'>\n\t\t\t<img src='https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/couple-in-the-kitchen.png' alt='' \/>\n\t\t\t<div class='author-overlay'><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<div class='author-info'>\n\t\t\tKaren Reinsberg and Gavin Booth are avid homecooks, travelers, love birds and the creators of <a href=\"https:\/\/coupleinthekitchen.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\">coupleinthekitchen.com.<\/a> They inspire thousands to spark romance through food.
