Ingredients

For the Prime Rib:

  • 1 bone-in prime rib roast 7 lbs

For the Marinade:

  • ½ cup kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup liquid smoke
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup minced garlic

Instructions

Day 1: Whisk marinade ingredients in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

    Day 2: Place roast on a rack in a roasting pan. Coat with marinade on all sides. Refrigerate uncovered for 24 hours.

      Day 3:

      • Let roast sit at room temperature for 2 hours.
      • Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
      • Sear roast for 30 minutes.
      • Reduce heat to 250°F (121°C) and cook for 2–2.5 hours (until internal temp reaches 130°F for medium-rare).
      • Rest for 1 hour before slicing.

      Notes

      • For extra smokiness: Add 1 tsp smoked paprika to the marinade.
      • Don’t skip resting! This keeps the juices locked in.
      • Leftovers? Make prime rib sandwiches or beef fried rice.
