Ingredients
  

  • 6 pound Prime Rib Roast/Standing Rib Roast
  • ¾ Cup Beef Tallow
  • 3 Tablespoon Garlic Paste or Garlic Squeeze
  • 2 Tablespoon Coarse Kosher Salt or Sea Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Smoked Black Pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Thyme Finely Chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Rosemary Finely Chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Sage Finely Chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Lavender Finely Chopped

Instructions
 

  • Trim excess fat from the standing rib roast.
  • In a bowl, combine the garlic paste, diced herbs, salt and pepper, and mix to form a uniform paste.
  • Rub the prime rib with the beef tallow to completely cover the roast, then rub the top and sides of the roast with the herb paste.
  • Preheat your smoker to 400 degrees. Place the prime rib roast in the smoker and cook for thirty minutes.
  • Decrease the temperature of the smoker to 275 degrees. Continue to cook to an internal temperature of 123 degrees. Carty over temp will result in a nice rare+ prime rib roast. If you would like the prime rib cooked closer to medium, continue cooking to 128 degrees.
  • Remove the prime rib from the smoker, cover with foil, and let rest for about 10 minutes prior to slicing.
