The Prime Rib (and other beef) Thread

Also, just for reference it takes 3-3.5 hours to get to 170 degrees. In the post I linked above it said that I cooked for 2 hours, so that should bracket your cooking time.

BTW, I used Traeger Prime Rib rub on the two roasts shown in the photo. Good stuff.

I think things on the medium rare side so I'm going to shoot for 145.

By reverse sear you're writing about cranking the heat at the end of the process correct?

Yes, indirect heat up to about 5-10 degrees below your target temp then put it on the high heat to sear it the rest of the way.

I'd be interested in trying smoked tri-tip, but it would have to be pretty good for me to go with that over a grilled tri-tip, as easy as they are to grill.

I just got back from a family gathering in Fresno. My uncle cooked some prime rib roasts. He should have looked at this thread first....

Cooked the small one to 155 F and the large to 150F.


Taste tests coming.

I made a prime rib roast today with a inglehoffer dijon mustard, rosemary, and thyme crust. It took about three hours to do right. Oh, man! That's good merde.

Does smoking vs grilling make a difference with regard to temperature? You guys are talking about 150-170 degrees. I pull my tri-tips off the grill at 135.
This is beef we're talking about here and not chicken, right?

Shaka, are you slamming that Tri tip solo are you hosting some senoritas tonight? Shame to not share the feast!

Where do people buy their Tri tip? I assume The 'Co?

Sniders! They sell both a naked tri-tip and a santa maria rubbed version. I like theirs, but I prefer to buy mine plain and season with Spade-L ranch seasoning.

I made dinner for the roommies. The meal was a rousing success! They loved the flavor of the meat.

KC I think the meat was a little overdone but it still tasted great. Next time I'll pull it out around 135 and let it equalize from there.

Triplet, I always get tri-tip from Costco. I have a rub recipe that is excellent for a regular grill. It would probably rock on the smoker as well. Let me know if you want it.

Looks great Shaka. Way to go.

[Shaka]

Thank you. It would seem that my first attempt at beef worked out.

I'm going to hold judgement until I've made it through the night without severe gastric distress.

[TripletDaddy]

you can see the smoke ring. the legend of Shaka is growing.

Is that tri tip a smaller, thinner cut? i wish I had tri tip for dinner
