Instructions
- Remove the prime rib roast from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 1 hour.
- Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).
- In a bowl, combine the smoked guajillo chili powder, crushed toasted cumin seeds, kosher salt, black pepper, minced garlic, olive oil, chopped rosemary, and thyme. Mix until a paste forms.
- Rub the spice mixture all over the prime rib, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let it sit for 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Place the seasoned prime rib in the smoker and smoke for about 4 to 5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (130°F for medium-rare).
- Remove the roast from the smoker and let it rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, mashed black garlic, chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Transfer the compound butter to a sheet of plastic wrap, shape it into a log, and refrigerate until firm.
- Slice the prime rib against the grain and serve with slices of black garlic compound butter on top.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding a dash of smoked paprika to the spice rub. Serve with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
