Standing Rib Roast

Welcome to the forum.

A standing rib roast sounds awesome. I have never cooked one. Every time I go to price them, I change my mind.

One of these days.

So, how did yours turn out? What smoker do you have?

Costa,

6 year old smoker (is it a CS?) and just now joining the forum... LOL better late than never, thanks for joining.

Are you suggesting a recipe or asking ???, I'm not sure. I move this to the PR forum as that's such a popular topic.

I for one think soaking isn't a good thing. Depends on your smoker I guess, but for me, it tends to make the wood smolder, not smoke and that smoldering gives off the heavy white smoke (which carriers the impurities)

Honey on a PR? Hey, if it works, it works.

SkipQ:

Go for it!! We wait until Xmas or Easter when the stores have sales on PR for near $6/lb. We always load up.

We like our PR rare so the last one I did (Memorial day) I took out at 127 and FTC'd for about a half hour.

Results:

Nice job Qnorth. That's beautiful.

Man, that looks good Qnorth. I'll watch for the good prices, then I'll give it a try.

You can often get Boneless Ribeye at Sam's usually at a good price as well.

That's beautiful, TN Q.

I'm always afraid to try something like that for guests because I would need to do a trial run to make sure I can pull it off. Due to the amount of meat involved, I've never wanted to do a trial run. I have seen half-sized portions before, so I guess that would work for practice.

I haven't bought Rib eye or NY strips at Sam's in a while. The whole NY strip I bought at Costco and cut into 1 and a quarter inch thick steaks a couple months ago was very disappointing in terms of quality. The meat was almost tasteless, and very wet. It was graded choice, but it sure didn't seem like it. Most of it is still in my freezer. It was so unsatisfying that I haven't had an inclination to grill any more of it. I'll take a look at Sam's again.

The rib eyes I bought at Central Market and grilled earlier tonight were another story. It was the best steak I've found in a grocery store in years.

By a whole Rib Eye. Cut it in a 3/4 and 1/4 section. Practice on the 1/4.

The key is to have a good temp probe and determine what temp you want to pull it. I go for 120 to 125. We like rare/med rare. You can also cut from the ends (they're more done) and cut from the middle for more rare (that's where you put your probe).

Key is that you can heat the underdone meat to make it MR or M but you can't do the reverese.

Oh and since we're posting photos

Yep, just officially and instantly made me hungry. I'll give you a 9 for appearance. Wish I had taste-O-puter.

All the pictures on this forum are scratch and sniff if you've got a big enough monitor.

Great suggestion, Smokin'. Now I'm getting hungry looking at your picture.
