BARBECUED PRIME RIB OF BEEF

[Pumpkin_Man]

Hi Folks:

I realize this is not a traditional "Halloween" dish, but I do prepare it every Halloween for dinner unless I have corned beef. The weather usualy makes the determination, but if it's nice, I am going to do the Prime Rib.

First of all you will Need:

Boneless Standing Rib Roast, 8 to 10 pounds.

2 Cloves of garlic

1 small bottle of vinager.

Cellery Salt,

Garlic Pepper.

To Prepare the Meet:

Break up the garlic cloves, peel them and cut then in quarters. Cut a small incision in the roast for each piece of garlic and place it in the incisions. Pour some vinager on the roast, then apply a liberal ammount of celery salt and garlic pepper.

To Prepare the Barbecue (Smoker type with seperate fire box & cooking chamber0

First step is to place an empty pan inside the cooking chamber, right under the grills so the grease can drip into the pan for the gravy.

Using lump charcole, start a fire in the fire box, and allow a minimum of 20 minutes to allow the charcole lighter fluid to burn off. Keep an eye on the cooking chamber temperature. The temp inside the cooking chamber should NEVER exceed 250 degrees. When the coal is ready, place the roast on top of the grills over the greas pan, and allow 8 to 12 HOURS for cooking time. This means that if you want to eat at 4 pm, you gotta get your roster out of bed at 3:30 am to allow enough time to prepare the barbecue and roast the meat. I usualy prepare the meat the night before.

Through out the cooking time, you will need to stoke the fire with lump charcole, keeping an eye on the cooking chamber thermometer making sure that the temp stays between 200 and 250 degrees. After the first 4 hours, use a meat thermometer to check the roast. When the INTER TEMPERATURE OF THE MEAT is 165 degrees, your roast is done. Take it off the grill, bring it in, put it in the oven to keep it warm. Take the pan with all the drippings, make your gravy, and prepare your side items.

If baked potatoes are your thing, you should probably allow 2 hours for baking.

You should be able to feed 4 to 6 people with this recipe. I usualy cut it up into individual portions and freez for other nights and to pack in lunches for work.

A ! or Chicago Char House steak sauce will also work wonders.

Yummy!!! I love bbq ribs!!

Thanks for sharing the recipe info here!

This is not pork barbecued ribs that you are thinking of. This is actualy a roast. It's called Prime Rib because it's right up on the rib cage of the cow, but it's a roast. It's the same cut of meat that you get Rib Eye steaks from.

I have not quite mastered barbecued pork ribs as of yet. I have to work on those a little before I post any recipes. BUt beef, I have down to a tee.

Ohh, sorry about that! I never had any beef ribs before, but love to try it!

Does beef ribs taste the best than pork ribs??

[Pumpkin_Man]

They don't tast the same, but if you ask me, they taste even better then pork ribs if they are cooked right. I usualy don't go with ribs, however. I usualy go with a boneless rib roast durint the Halloween and Christmas season. I seperate the roast from the ribs in the Summer time and do them seperately.
