Make The Perfect Prime Rib Every Time

[@williamwhite1997]

Dude, your delivery kicks ass. "Since it took us 3 days to get the water out of our spinach, our prime rib is ready" "if your Korean newspaper is too old it will be too dry and spike our temperatures" "also because I don't care what those people say" 😂 Great stuff Merry Christmas Joe

[@knoxavebbq]

Lol! I’m glad you caught all of them. Appreciate it. Thanks for watching!

[@clatham2567us]

That cracked me up too

[@msmeka2963]

I was laughing too

[@commishg]

Joe, that's as pretty a prime rib as I've ever seen. Evenly cooked coast to coast and excellent render. You nailed it.

[@knoxavebbq]

Appreciate it. Thanks for watching

[@v12racer]

Thanks for sharing your tips! I agree that dry brining is a game changer. I always dry brine my thicker cuts of steaks and roasts. You get consistent flavor throughout the meat.

[@knoxavebbq]

Yup. It’s a winner. Thanks for watching

[@markglusica217]

Man, that looks incredible!! I make a rib roast every Christmas and have never done a dry brine, will definitely give it a shot this time around! Great video as usual!

[@knoxavebbq]

you gotta do it! it'll make a difference. i promise.

[@nickkoenig4009]

Looks like it turned out fantastic. I also appreciate your not obnoxious during your video like so many other content creators nowadays. Straight and too the point, tastefully shot, and not over produced. Keep up the excellent work. Happily subscribed. Merry Christmas!

[@knoxavebbq]

appreciate your kind words! hope to continue that in the next year. thank so much. merry christmas!

Really appreciate your cooking instructions. Got a bonus creamed spinach recipe as well. The prime rib you made looks very delicious. Thank you for posting this.

[@knoxavebbq]

Thanks. Appreciate you watching!

[@markennes5208]

I really liked the idea of resting the meat, and THEN searing it. I'm not sure I've ever seen anybody suggest that before! And yeah, like you said, then the IT would come up but the exterior including just below the surface would come down, allowing the perfect moment to do the sear while at the same time promoting edge to edge pinkness. Wow! Seems like a really good idea. I will try that in three days. ;-) Thanks for a great video!

[@knoxavebbq]

Yessir! That’s the idea. Glad you enjoyed it. Appreciate you watching. Please let me know how it goes.

[@rocmarshl3021]

Great video.. I have ordered my 250 gallon pit on a trailer from primitive pits. I take delivery around the first of March. Thanks for all you do!!

[@JT-vg1qn]

This was great. I'm doing this for Christmas every year like this. I'm not doing the spinach as certain people don't like it. The prime looks amazing! I might do it for New Years. Thank you so much

[@knoxavebbq]

Understandable. Not everyone thing. Thanks for watching!

You've obviously been educated in the culinary arts. Lovely looking dinner and I can't wait to try out this method, and your recipe for creamed spinach. Nice job!

Keep it up dude!

I used your method to make my prime rib. I smoked it last night and it was the best prime rib I ever ate. thank you for sharing this

[@knoxavebbq]

awesome! i'm so glad to hear! thanks for watching

[@andypark713]

I dont think ive ever rested it as long as you did before the sear... amazing tip!! Will need to do this next time!

[@knoxavebbq]

It’s worth it! No sense trying to rush it in the end. You can even hold it for longer. It won’t climb up that fast and the meat will just be more rested before you sear it off.

[@twys124]

I appreciate the step up in production quality. You are a wealth of knowledge. Looking forward to seeing your channel grow.

[@knoxavebbq]

Thanks. Appreciate you watching

[@ikeachair517]

I've never really thought about it, but the order in which you season it actually makes A LOT of sense. Gonna have to steal that

[@knoxavebbq]

It’s not stealing. Cooks all share ideas. Haha. But if you salt first, you can let the salt dissolve for about 10 mins and then add pepper. I was just impatient. Haha

[@JoshChristiane]

Great recipe, it's actually very similar to the one I've been doing for years. You clearly know your stuff, very much so appreciated. I also season with pepper or heavier seasonings first, it really does help it stick better. I like to mix soft butter and Dijon together in a bowl and make a thick paste from that for my binder, works good for me. I love your idea of resting in-between the cooking/sear, definitely helps even out that internal heat.

[@knoxavebbq]

Sounds delicious! Thanks for watching!

[@RadDadisRad]

I really like to blend in MSG with my dry brine. Helps prevent the outside from oxidizing. So I will first dunk my prime rib in a lightly seasoned brine solution. Pat dry then add my pepper garlic and MSG. Rest in the fridge for 10-14 days checking the meat every 24 hours to see if I have any spice slide off. When I cook I brush the meat off before smoking. I’m going to try your cook method because I like how you get the wall to wall pink and render the fat.

[@knoxavebbq]

Damn. That’s quite a process. Thanks for watching.

[@RadDadisRad]

@@1-Wheel-Drive plenty of salt. It’s in my dry brine the last couple days and also in seasoned brine. I don’t do a lot of salt on the initial rest because it can cure the meat. That’s why I just dunk it in the brine solution. 30 minute soak in the brine is plenty.

I didn’t. I’ve never tied. Didn’t think it was necessary. But if you’re going to cook the entire roast and the shape is a little uneven, you may want to consider it so it cooks evenly.

[@knoxavebbq]

You could….. but I wouldn’t recommend it going on much longer. After 3 days it’s seasoned, so to go any longer wouldnt make it better in my opinion. It’ll probably make the surface more jerky like and possibly have a more of an unpleasant cured flavor. I left it uncovered
