Southwestern Slow Cooked Prime Rib

Prime rib is one of the few meats cooked in a smoker that needs to be served as rare / medium/ or well done. Unlike a brisket which is cooked to an internal temperature of 190 degrees, today�s entr�e will be cooked to 125 degrees internal (within the USDA food safety guidelines) and given a southwestern spice rub and slather. Upon digging into this today, it was so tender you could cut the meat with a fork.

Here are the players

5 lb. Angus Beef Prime Rib
1 oz. Orange Pepper
1oz. Black Pepper
4 oz. Horseradish Mustard
1 oz. Chipotle Mix
3 oz. Turbinado Sugar

Mix all of the dry ingredients into a bowl and rub a small amount on to the prime rib.
After the meat is lightly covered, slather on the horseradish mustard until the meat is fully covered.

Once the meat is covered, apply the remaining dry rub on to the meat until it is uniformly covered.

Place in a preheated smoker @ 250 degrees and cook to an internal temperature of 125 degrees is reached.

After the meat has reached the desired cooking temperature, remove from smoker and let stand for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute themselves back into the meat.

Rare to medium will be pink inside with juices evident.

That looks awesome. I would love to smoke one, but cannot convince to come up with the $$. About how long did it take to smoke that beast?

This one took a little over 5 hours. The nice thing about living in the south west is this was $1.97 lb.

Your kidding. I thought beef was reasonable here in Texas. My father just oven roasted one about 3-4 weeks ago (some recipe he saw on food network). He spent $50 for that same piece of meat.

When I was in Florida looking for a whole brisket, they had one that ran $160 in the display cooler. When I asked the girl where they kept the brisket, she said that they don�t display the more expensive cuts of meat in the display cooler and I would have to have the manager bring one out from the back.

It's amazing how different the prices are around the country. I always thought since I was in Longhorn country that I would get a good deal on beef. Guess I was mistaken. Although, brisket here is cheap, but roasts are expensive. Go figure.

I would love one cooked to that degree. The ones I did at Xmas went to 180, wife & kids won't eat beef with red in it Sad

Good, but not much juices left. I think it was a waste if $150. Next time I'll just fix them a well done Strip & me a rare rib eye Exclamation

we cooked up a 6 pounder for new years here on LI. As it was our first attempt at prime rib roast, we went sompe with s&p and some garlic. Cost here is a bit much....$6.99 per lb for prime. Can sometimes find choice for $3.99 here. I wish I could figure out how to load photos, it looked great and tasted even better

That prime rib looks AWESOME! I usually cook mine about the same (med rare), and then custom grill it to order for those liking it more well done! No need to ruin the whole roast that way! Very Happy

Great looking prime Alien. Good tip BBQMAN! I suffer from the same problem. Any beef I cook with guest in mind (especially the GF) has to be burnt beyond recognition. Mad

Only my dad and myself like our beef rare / medium rare.

The Excel meat packing plant is just down the road (in New Mexico terms) so I believe that is the reason for the good deals.

Awesome looking peice of meat there Alien, Prime rib is the same price up here at $6.99 a pound. would have been nice to see the inside of that roast.

Just a question about the orange pepper, does that flavour come through on the finished product..??

We sure do need smell O vision.

On the orange pepper... just slightly. The inside roast pic is the last one that shows it sliced.
