Holiday Prime Rib Roast

So awhile ago I was shooting the shit at work with a co-worker & he tells me of the 5 X 500° prime rib cook. My girl loves prime rib so I'm interested. He says check out youtube there's plenty of how to vids.

I used the recipe in this vid:

I usually do a 3-bone roast and double up the recipe in the vid, here's a pic of one of the first roasts I cooked with this method.

On later roasts I chose to salt brine beforehand, anywhere from 24 hrs. to 3 hrs. just depending on how much time I had.

I also slap some whole bay leaves on the mud rub now which does add a little more time since I have to pull them off after the cook but I do like the way it keeps the bark on the roast.

I did one for Thanksgiving and it turned out great, I'm planning on smoking some tri-tip for Christmas but I thought I would pass along this cook as I haven't seen it posted here and it is a pretty easy and fool-proof way to make a tasty prime rib.

 

Subbed for prime rib action!

 

Have done this many times works great in the oven. My only suggestion is a add a temp probe and check what oven temp is actually at

 

Excellent suggestion!

 

I have a three bone ready for the smoker. Haven't decided on the rub yet.

 

I am just getting ready to throw a 4 bone roast in the oven.

 

Made this today for New Years. Did exactly what the video said and it turned out 100% perfect! Thanks for posting this! A+++

 

I ended up going rosemary, thyme, garlic, and butter rub. Smoked for 3 or so hours. Turned out fantastic.

 

Did a 8#er 3-bone today, 41min. cook w/ the 2hr. rest. Mighty tasty!

 

Looks good!
