Prime Rib or Standing Rib Roast
Olive or vegetable oil
Jeff's Texas Style Rub
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Prime Rib
Ask the butcher to cut off the bones and then tie it all back up for you. You can also ask him to "french" the bones for you to make it look real nice.
Step 2: Oil and Seasoning
Apply a good coating of oil to the entire outside surface of the prime rib to help the seasoning to stick.
Sprinkle Jeff's Texas style rub onto the meat on all sides. Don't forget the ends.
Step 3: Smoke Time
Setup your smoker for cooking at about 225°F (107°C)
Apply light smoke for the entire time if possible or for at least 3 hours.
Monitor the temperature and when the temperature reaches about 130°F (54°C), remove it from the smoker.
Tent foil over the top of the meat and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
Step 4: Slice and Serve
Cut the strings that are holding the roast and bones together.
