We maximize the flavor of this smoked prime rib by first seasoning it with a rub of garlic, pepper, rosemary and thyme. Next, the beef rib roast is slow smoked over hickory wood chips in a solution of red wine, red wine vinegar, and olive oil to further enhance the prime rib’s flavor, as well as yield the most succulent and tender beef possible. Needless to say, our 5-star-rated smoked prime rib is a dish that’s sure to make any occasion feel exceptionally special.
