Ingredients
- 5 pound Prime Rib roast
- 2 tablespoons coarse Kosher salt
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme chopped
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- To prepare the roast, at least 24 hours before smoking, trim fat to 1/4". Rub the roast all over with coarse kosher salt. Place it in the refrigerator, uncovered, until ready to smoke (24-48 hours for best results).

- Preheat smoker to 225° F.
- In a food processor or chopper, mix together the butter, rosemary, thyme, garlic, and lemon juice until combined.
- Spread herb butter evenly over the roast.
- Place prime rib directly on grill or in a roasting tray on the grill and smoke until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 110°F (rare) or 120°F (medium rare) - roughly 40 minutes per pound. Remove from grill.
- Heat smoker, grill, or oven to 425°F. Roast until internal temp reaches 120°F (rare) or 130°F (medium rare).
- Remove from grill, loosely tent and rest for at least 15 minutes. Slice and serve.
