Art of Manliness: Prime Rib Roast

Our bone in standiing rib roast smoked on the pellet grill was so tasty. We like a smoky taste so we used mesquite. Will have a ton of leftovers as spouse bought an 8 lb roast for the two of us. Even baked the potatoes on the pellet smoker. Best rib roast ever!

Yummmmm! Using mesquite sounds inspired and I'll remember yr usage for the future?.

In contrast to the 8 lber you smoked for two, I slow roasted a 6.5 lber as part of what was meant to be a buffet table for 26 people (more on that later).

Took a leap of faith and only seasoned with kosher salt and cracked black pepper. Soooo glad I did that as the oxtail based au jus and horseradish whipped cream were flavour-full and rich enough. There were EXACTLY three slices left at the end of the night: 2 end pieces (on a whole we like our beef rare) and a perfectly juicy pink to red slice left out of a misguided sense of politeness;).

Not sure if it was due to the vicissitudes of using ovens I'm not familiar with but the roast cooked faster than I expected and it pointed out a PITB aspect of instant read thermometers.
