I bought a rib roast yesterday to do prime rib for Christmas. Do you cut slits in it and put in cloves of garlic while cooking? And should I go ahead and season it with salt and pepper and let it sit in the fridge for a few days?

Some do, but I personally do not. I love garlic, but big chunks of it is not for everyone.

I would recommend this or something similar. If you feel the need to have to put something inside the meat.

Dry brining is a great idea, but I would recommend, not adding the pepper until you are ready to cook.

I personally don't do garlic, but if you like it, use it. Slice thin and put it on the outside.

I am smoking mine. Already have the dry seasoning on and in the fridge.

Bring the internal temp to about 130, which means pulling off smoker at 125 and letting it rest.

Good luck!

Can we make this the official prime rib advice thread for this season?

If I want to do an herb crust, am I better off using dried herbs instead of fresh?

I also am doing one and have never done it. I was debating making garlic butter and rubbing it with that and then salt and pepper or a steak rub and smoking until 125ish. Thoughts?

doing the same meat...salt before hand and let it sit in the fridge under cheesecloth so the moisture can wick, then a little more salt and coarse pepper before i put it on the smoker. i pull mine about 110, let it rest for 20, 30 mins, then reverse sear it over the flame in the firebox to bring it up to 125 or so internal.

gotta have that good bark/char on the outside.

You definitely can trim as much as you want. I actutaully like to leave a little to crisp up to go with that good bark!

assuming you will cook to rare or med rare the meat won’t get enough time or temp to soften the garlic. You’ll just have raw garlic in the meat and that’s not good eats

I start a rib roast on the cool side, roast to temp, let rest, then fire up the hot side and sear all over. Foolproof

I have been using the Marty's meats recipe for a couple years now and it hands down is the best in the world if not the galaxy.

Does anyone cut the bones off first? I could see smoking some beef ribs another day.
