Equipment

  • Woodfire grill
  • Woodfire Elevated Racks
  • Saucepan
  • Knife
  • Whisk
  • Strainer

Ingredients

  • 7 LB Prime Rib Roast Bones removed and tied
  • 5 tablespoon Kosher salt Estimated
  • Liquid Beef Tallow

Holiday Spice Rub

  • 1 teaspoon Granulated Onion
  • 1 teaspoon Granulated Garlic
  • 2 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger
  • 1 teaspoon Mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Cardamom
  • 2 teaspoon White Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cloves
  • 1 teaspoon Mushroom Powder

Gravy/Jus

  • 1 Stick Unsalted Butter
  • 3 teaspoon All Purpose Flour
  • 3 Cups Beef Stock
  • 1 teaspoon Cardamom
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tablespoon Cold butter
  • 1 teaspoon Salt To Taste

Instructions

Season The Prime Rib

  • Season the Prime Rib generously with kosher salt on all sides.
  • Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to dry brine.
  • While the meat rests, mix the holiday spice ingredients together in a bowl.
  • After the dry brine, coat the entire Prime Rib with the holiday spice mix, using all of it to fully cover the roast, including the rib side.

Slow and Low Smoke

  • Fill the Woodfire pellet hopper with pellets, don't forget to do the Dad Shake.
  • Set the Woodfire grill to smoker mode at 200 degrees Fahrenheit (93C).
  • Place the Prime Rib on an elevated rack so smoke can circulate around the meat. Insert the probe thermometer from the top of the roast to avoid multiple holes through the center.
  • Smoke the Prime Rib until it reaches 118F(48C), about 2 hours 45 minutes. When the roast reaches temperature, remove it from the smoker.

Make the Gravy

  • Place saucepan over medium heat and melt the stick of butter. Once it begins to brown add in the flour, cinnamon and cardamom and cook for 3 minutes while whisking.
  • Slowly add in the beef stock a little at a time while whisking until fully incorporated. Add in the apple cider vinegar.
  • Cut the heat and add the cold butter while whisking to add body and gloss to the sauce. Taste the sauce and add salt until you are happy with it.

Broil for a Crust

  • Set the Woodfire to broil and allow it to fully preheat, at least 10 minutes.
  • Spray the exterior of the Prime Rib with liquid beef fat. Place the roast back into the grill on broil for 5 minutes to get a fast, hot sear.

Rest and Serve

  • Let the Prime Rib rest for approximately five minutes.
  • Separate the ribs, then slice the Prime Rib into about one inch thick slabs.
  • Serve with the gravy or au jus.
