Dry Aged Prime Rib

Reverse Seared Dry-Aged Prime Rib

Prime rib is a favorite roast for many special occasions. This recipe featured a prime, 35-day dry-aged prime rib roast that was smoked low and slow. So good!
For this recipe, I used a boneless prime rib roast that had been dry-aged for 35 days. It was gently smoked low and slow over lump charcoal at 250°F to an internal temperature of 125°F then reverse seared after a brief rest.

Equipment

  • Smoker

Ingredients
  

Prime Rib Roast

  • 5 lb boneless rib roast dry-aged
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • ½ teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 2 tbs canola oil
  • string to tie up roast

Gravy

  • ½ cup red wine
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups low-sodium beef stock
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
 

  • Select a prime rib roast from your butcher that has been dry-aged 28 - 35 days. Trim off excess fat and any areas that appear dried out.
  • Remove the roast from the refrigerator 90 minutes before cooking. Tie 6 - 8 loops of string around the roast gently pulling the roast into a round shape.
  • Rub the roast with oil and season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Do not season the ends of the roast.
  • Setup your smoker for indirect heat at 250°F using good quality lump charcoal. Place the roast on a raised rack over a sturdy jelly roll pan and cook to an internal temperature of 125°F for medium rare, about 30 - 40 minutes per pound.
  • Remove the roast, tent with foil, and allow to rest for about 15 minutes. Reconfigure the smoker for direct heat at 500°F. Sear the roast over direct heat to form a nice crust, about 1 minute per side, 4 minutes total. Slice ½" slices and serve with Au Jus, creamed horseradish and some popovers. Enjoy.
