Originally posted by cowboy View PostSalt, pepper, and garlic salt. I'm kind of a minimalist when it comes to rub, but I believe it's really hard to put too much salt on a roast. A prime rib is so large, and there is so much fat on the outer layer that the rub doesn't really affect the meat, but it makes really tasty drippings and snacking treats.
I did 2 10# roasts last year for the family get-together. My mom thought it would be too much meat and too much work. I told her it would be near impossible to have too much meat, which was confirmed by the empty platters and people asking if there was more. I haven't tried to dissuade her from the belief of how much work it takes so nobody complains when I volunteer to cook the meat in the future."You interns are like swallows.

Originally posted by hostile View PostI do a rub with salt, pepper, garlic, mustard, and herbs (thyme, rosemary). I agree that the affect on the meat is minimal, but the crispy fat and drippings are killer. I've started adding the drippings to mashed potatoes.

Originally posted by hostile View PostCertain cuts, yes. It is not always available, but there is a section for USDA Prime, at least at the one in Murray. Usually they have rib-eye steak and strip steak. Around the holidays you can get rib eye roasts
A true Prime rib. There are worse things in life, I suppose!Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

I've recovered from the trauma of my Thanksgiving Day food poisoning and am ready to fire up the Traeger. I have two very nice tri-tip roasts that I will be smoking today. I've rubbed them with Traeger's Prime Rib Rub and am letting them sit for an hour or two.
Anyone have cooking tips? Time and temp? I figured I'd sear them on my gas gril and then switch them over to the Traeger.

I haven't done a tri-tip but I do chuck roasts all the time. I insert the temp probe put them on at 250 degrees and just leave them at that temp until done. You will need to decide how done you want them. First time I did it I cooked until ~145 and I thought it was great but it was too rare for my family's tastes. I now cook to 160-170 degrees which is medium well or well done but the relatively slow cooking results in a tender and juicy roast. They still turn out great. Here is a post with some photos. This was from the first time I did it (cooked to 145 degrees):

Tri-tips are not as tender as chucks (in my experience) so you might want to cook it a little more on the rare side.
It probably wouldn't hurt, but I don't think you will need to sear them first."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."
