RECIPE: SMOKED PRIME RIB

If you’re a meat enthusiast, you’re in for a treat as we delve into the world of prime rib – a culinary masterpiece that’s sure to ignite your taste buds. Often referred to as a standing rib roast, prime rib is a magnificent cut of beef that shines brightest when it’s expertly roasted, bones intact.

Sourced from the primal rib section of the animal, prime rib boasts a generous six ribs (numbered 6 to 12) and can tip the scales anywhere from 12 to 16 pounds.

So, what sets prime rib apart and makes it so special? The answer lies in its heart, a luscious “eye” of meat at the center. This succulent core is not only incredibly tender but also marbled with exquisite layers of fat, ensuring a flavor profile that’s nothing short of extraordinary. Encircling this jewel of meat is a fat-marbled muscle, all cocooned beneath a thick cap of fat.

In essence, prime rib’s magic lies in its minimal muscle usage, resulting in a tender, juicy, and intensely flavourful beef experience that’s bound to leave your taste buds in awe.
