We are having a watch party at my house Saturday evening for the OU Washington game and of course I am planning on Smoking. Everyone has had lots of variety off my smoker (brisket, chicken, ABT's, Fattys, hamburgers, etc) so I was thinking of something a little different.
I was at Sam's yesterday and was eyeing the Rib Eye Roasts. They range from 10-15 pnds each for 5.99/pnd. They also had full strip roasts for 6.44/pnd both Choice.
I am leaning to the rib eye roast, cutting it in half and cooking one to 125 and one to 135. The only thing I plan on doing to the meat is rubbing with it a roasted garlic, ground pepper, and kosher salt mix. I will also be slitting the roasts and inserting some of the roasted garlic cloves into the meat.
Has anyone had experience with this cut of meat from Sam's? If it is not a good cut I don't want to spend $90 - $100 on it.
Also, I am guessing about between 5 - 7 hours to get 2 7pnd roasts done, does this seem about right?
I just don't want to get caught with my pants down on this one. A $20 brisket or butt is one thing.
I have looked over many of the previous prime rib posts but most of them are dealing with smaller cuts and/or steaks or with bone in. I haven't really seen much with a large roast like I am looking at.
Thanks for any help.
