Summer Sunday Roast – Smoked Pepper Crusted Beef Rib Roast w/ Chimichurri
Smoked Rib Roast
Ingredients:
1 bone in beef rib roast (3 bone minimum for best results)
1 part salt
2 parts black pepper, coarsely ground
Method:
- Trim any excess fat, maintaining at least a 1/4” fat cap.
- Cut the ribeye free from the rib bones, then use butcher twine to tightly truss the ribeye back onto the bones. (This will make for easier slicing once the roast it cooked.)
- Allow roast to come to room temperature. (This allows for more even internal cooking.)
- Preheat your smoker to 225F
- Once the roast is at room temperature, mix salt and coarse pepper and crust the roast liberally on all sides.
- Smoke the rib roast until it reaches an internal temperature of 120F, approximately 35 minutes/LB. (For a medium roast smoke to an internal of 135F, or 40 minutes/LB) Regardless of how you like your beef cooked, at this point you want it to be about 15 degree less than your finished target.
- Remove roast from the smoker and allow to rest for a minimum of 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile Preheat a BBQ or oven to 450F.
- Once the roast has rested transfer it to the 450F bbq or oven and roast for 10-15 minutes to form a caramelized crust. (if using a BBQ make sure you don’t have the roast over direct heat.
- Cut and remove the butcher twine, left the roast away from the ribs to a cutting board, and slice as desired.
