Valentine's Day Prime Rib

[superdave]

My wife suggested that we stay in tonight to avoid the madness at restaurants, so, I seasoned a small prime rib that I had in the freezer.

Fresh green beans and twice baked potatoes will round out the main meal.  I stopped by the bakery yesterday and got a piece of Tuxedo cake for us to share for dessert.

Working on the taters while the PR is doing its thing.

Sorry I missed this Dave, prime rib was beautiful. I am a big fan of stuffed poatoes but have not make one in awhile. Hmmmmm...... inspiration, Tomorrow! I know I have the taters and everything else. Think about it with Andouille crumbles on top too!! Mouth just started watering!

Great job.

does look super.  What temp did you take the meat out at?  Did you foil and rest?  How long.  Trying a 4 rib roast this weekend.

Potatoes wre precooked I guess.  How long in the smoke?

Licking my chops

 

[superdave]

Meat came out at 137, which worked out to be about 40 minutes a pound time wise.  The meat rested for 15 - 20 minutes before we sliced and served.  I baked the potatoes in the oven, mashed and finished in the smoker for 30 minutes with smoke at 250 to re-heat potatoes.

Thank you for the help.

Did you sear the meat before smoking? I have never tried one on the smoker but havent had luck in the oven with the 500 degrees then turn off until meat is done. Always seems to end up over cooked for me.

I put them on the smoker at room temp till they were close to where I wanted them and then put them on the grill at very high temp for just long enough to get a good sear on the outside. They were perfect!
