Garlic & Herb Tomahawk Prime Rib

Garlic & Herb Tomahawk Prime Rib
Prime Rib is a classic Holiday meal. In this recipe we will create a garlic & herb crusted smoked prime rib that is fit for a King!
"Prime" rib doesn't mean it comes from a Prime grade meat. You can make prime rib from a Choice grade cut. In fact, it's more affordable and turns out fantastic.
Whether you choose a Choice or Prime grade cut, there are several different types of roasts to create the perfect prime rib; bone-In, boneless or standing rib roast (bones are removed prior to the cook and re-attached with butcher's twine during the cook process.) Each have their own advantages. In this recipe we will be smoking it as we are focused on the presentation from the frenched tomahawk bones.

"... if you want it well done, Unsubscribe... 'cause you did it wrong"... Preach brother. I grew up on well done.. didn't know that beef had flavor until I moved away and tasted medium rare for the first time... it was, for me, that "best bite in BBQ" experience you talk about. I've learned so much from your videos - it really has stepped up my BBQ game. Thank you Matt.

That was my favorite remark.

[@jeremyjohnson5475]

I dropped the ball on my family's Christmas dinner yesterday. I was pretty PO'd about it. My family was very forgiving. But I made the paste in this video. I pulled our prime rib from the fridge, and it was partially frozen. Today it's thawed... completely. And the paste sat in the fridge all night. It's like all the ingredients marinated together. AMAZING! Dinner tonight will be delicious. Thank you for this recipe.

[@Sudzlada]

I have a 10lb prime rib lined up for Christmas. I've been watching video after video trying to pick the best approach. Pretty sure I'm done looking! Thanks!

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Fantastic! The one thing I would have done different was sprinkle a little rub on the roast first. I felt like it needed a pinch more.

[@seannewton93]

"If you want it well done unsubscribe because you do it wrong" probably my favorite quote of all time

This is awesome thanks for the vid. You should do a grocery store series focused on everything you find on the shelves. Also a week night series that's on quick recipes for dinner.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Good ideas. We have a few week nights (pork tenderloin) and always say we will do more. Need to.

[@garygolden9220]

Beautiful work Matt!

[@jagnes632]

I usually lance my rib 1/2 in deep both directions in 1 inch squares when I do this to let the seasonings adhere and sink in even better! Also ends up looking amazing with a checker board look!

[@larryvaughan7875]

I used this on lamb chops and added rosemary it is the best chops I have had. I didn't really have alot of time to marinate them only 45 minutes excellent. I have used this on Turkey many times but damn it's made for lamb.

[@arg8763]

This video is helpful for me on time and temp, because I have a 24lber going on Christmas morning that I need to get done by 2PMish. Will be seasoning with butter and Holy Cow mostly, but that is just because it's what we like on our grilled steaks.

[@zeballgood571]

Made a boneless prime rib for Christmas with this herb crust, amazing. Went way quicker than i anticipated, 12lb done in 4hrs at 250. This is a do over for sure, thanks Matt!!

Well howdy! That’s outstanding. We usually do one of these during the holidays. (Christmas) Well done. We laughed hard when you said if you like well done, Unsubscribe! Amen, to that medium/medium rare beef. Thanks Matt.

[@srt10h4rml3ss]

my absolute favourite right there. I usually do a very heavy dry rub but thankfully my youngest has my taste for beef and garlic finally so darn right I'll be giving this rub a go over the holidays. Damn fine work as always Matt !! (I almost licked the monitor that looked ridiculous)

Hi guys, I’m a fairly new subscriber to your channel, (about 6 mos or so) and I was in my local butcher shop recently looking for a spice rub blend, when I found yours. I couldn’t believe it when I saw your “holy cow” spice rub. I got it, took it home and made pulled pork sliders, in a word, DE-f’ing-LICIOUS!! I can’t believe how good they were. Thank you gentlemen, (John from California)

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Thank you John and thanks for being here!!!!

[@dr.smokedaddy5480]

Meat Church, I am a big fan of all your videos, rubs, and recipes. Thank you for teaching us your bbq techniques. I like this one too and tired it as well. Very excellent taste. However, I have noticed and learned that everyone does not eats rare beef. Since bbq’n for my fellow service members overseas, I have cooked my prime rib just like a brisket. Utilizing your techniques. It came out very well and tender that my 2 year old can eat it. How about dropping a video prime rib cooking it brisket style?

[@shawngillogly6873]

I cook Wifey Prime Rib for New Year's Eve. But this looks like a lovely way to do it.

Looks Awesome ! Own lots of your seasoning too. Love 'em. So I bought what I needed seasoning wise to do what you did in your "Smoked Prime Rib" video. Then this came out. lol. In your opinion, Is this flavor profile much better ? Im looking to do this for Christmas Eve Dinner. Im sure neither will disappoint cause I've had success with your other recipes but is this one the clear winner ? I'll save the W Sauce, Meat Church Garlic & Herb and the Holy Cow for the next one !

[@Senn2729]

My mouth is watering.,...

[@walterkopriva9735]

Oh man!!

[@DavidShiba]

Matt, love all your rubs and videos. For this recipe, we love Worcestershire sauce, what do you think of slathering with this before putting in the rub/sauce you recommended? Also, what happened to the Pecan rub, we loved that with chicken but appears you don't offer it any longer?

[@codyzimmerman2703]

Matt, last years was soooooo good. Which one did you like better last year or this years?? I bet they both damn good though!

[@stevedavidson8802]

Love the way that you did that prime rib. Would love to see you do a video you probably did already but fire management on your meal scale you never talk about or show. How do you maintain that 250 in your in your mail scale all right merry Christmas

[@AMMOBBQ]

Damn killing it as usual!

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Thanks!

[@braddaniel6575]

I usually use butter as my binder. Just get it soft and mix everything in like you did. I'm curious to try the dijon mustard method, though!

[@joeybuckingham7006]

@Brad Daniel, I do the same i season heavily, then lather with Kerigold butter that's softened and mixed with minced garlic, seasoning, rosemary and thyme. I also run a small Lodge cast iron basting bowl with Kerigold and garlic in the smoker and baste on as the initial butter runs off.

[@bobcox9064]

Two days ago I followed this method and seasoning combination on a small 6.5 lb standing rib roast. The meat itself turned out great. But I have to say when I do it again I will return to my salt, pepper, garlic, Cajun seasoning rub. That’s just taste preference. The smoking method is right on!

[@franksanchez1482]

I was just thinking of how good is will be replacing the mustard with butter.

[@donnielong1692]

Thanks for being honest about the carry over. I never see the carry over that folks say will happen.

[@alrightmeow6916]

I'm doing pretty much the exact same thing for Christmas eve with a little bit more of a Montreal seasoning. Question, you ever try this with a pan of water in with it over to the side? I'm finding that if I go with a little water in the smoker on a piece of meat this big including brisket and throw my leftover herbs and a couple garlic cloves or whatever it helps it crust/bark up nice along with whatever your spray game is... And if nothing else makes the aromas even more ridiculous around the smoker. Traeger Ironwood 885, Northern California here. Thoughts?

[@douglasbattjes3991]

Love the rub you put on it, more garlic please, lol and Matt have you ever put some garlic wedges into the meat, sure you have. I made a little tube , sharpened the end, put a little plunger inside it, spear a piece of garlic, push it into the meat then push the plunger in, wa-la, incredible . Now that you got me starvin for a PR. Yours looks incredible

I did this recipe today on my new Traeger and it didn’t get hardly any bark. Could it have to do with the cut of meat itself? It was delicious but wanted that same bark

[@alexanderdeitsch8839]

This recipe looks fantastic. I’m planning on doing a reverse sear (smoking it on a pellet grill at 225 or so until it reaches an internal temp of 120, finishing it in a 500 oven for 10 minutes), because my family likes the crisp crust on a steak or a roast. I would imagine that fresh herbs might burn at that temperature. Would dried herbs be a good alternative here?
