This Smoked & Seared Prime Rib is a delicious recipe for a weekend smoke session! Smoke the prime rib for about two hours, so it can absorb a delicious smoky flavor, and then sear it over high heat to get a nice color and crust on the outside to lock in all the flavor.

Instructions

Trim the prime rib with a sharp knife and remove excess skin and fat.

Score the fat cap.

Apply olive oil to all sides of the prime rib and season with BBQ Rub on all sides.

Knot the prime rib using a small piece of cooking twine.

Place the beef broth under the prime rib in the pan under the roaster.
