When you kids love rib eye steak as much as you do, Prime rib roast HAS to be on the dinner menu around the holidays.
Today I’m making a standing rib roast with a black truffle salt and herb rub that is the perfect way to close the curtains on the year.
This rib roast is going to be more along the lines of what you’d consider a traditional style. It’s going to be slow cooked in the oven at 250 F.
Then when the internal temp reaches around 155-120 F I’ll pull it, let it rest for about 10 minutes while the oven comes up to 500 F.
And while that is cooking I’m going to make a batch of my garlic and herb mashed potatoes, along side some blistered green beans.
Two easy side dishes to make but they’re so delicious and pair perfectly with this prime rib dinner.
And if you’re into smoked prime rib, You can follow the same instructions, and instead of using your oven just bust out the pellet smoker.
For the searing part you’re either going to want to bring your rib roast back to the oven, or grill becuase you’ll want to be at around 500 F to get a nice crust around the outside.
It’s times like these I really with I had a Kamado Joe..
A perfectly cooked rib roast should be pink edge to edge, so really want your internal temperature.
I highly recommend using a wireless meat prob like an iGrill or Meater to get the job done.
And if you’re like me, have plenty of horseradish on deck too!
