I absolutely love Prime Rib... it's got excellent fat content and texture.. there is a reason it's expensive!!! Because it's worth it. Smoking it also adds some intense flavour that you don't want to miss out on if you have a smoker. If you do not www.chefalli.com has a great oven technique that will ensure yours turns out perfectly in the oven. My dinner guests this evening like their meat done to a medium, but I will also try and explain out other internal temp's to strive for to get your perfect cook.

To start, I wanted to infuse some flavour without taking away from the meat itself. I started with slicing up some fresh garlic in strips and then making small slices in the surface of the prime rib to shove the garlic into, You will want to evenly place them all over the top and front where it curves down to meet the tip of the bone.

Once this is done, I poured some Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper on top and I placed it on the smoker at 250 degrees or about 2 hours. If you are following the oven instructions you will need to have your oven completely pre-heated, I'll leave you to follow the other instructions for that.

A smoked Prime Rib is a labour of love... perfect for a lazy Sunday like today because you have to let it cook for along time to really make the most of the flavours. I started it at 250 degrees for 2 hours, upped the temp slightly to 350 and continued cooking until the meat hit 130 degrees internally and let it rest for 20-30 minutes. Letting it rest continues the cooking process and it should raise about another 10 degrees internally during this time.

If you are aiming for a medium rare, pull your meat out at 125 degrees internally and let sit for 20-30 minutes to hit about 130-135 degrees. I love the colour change during the smoking process! These pics were from 1 hour in, half way finished to resting!

This sliced up perfectly. I do enjoy more of a medium rare, but the flavour was amazing on this regardless!. Check out the smoke ring!

On to the Dairy Free Yorkshire pudding. This was one of the things I missed eating when I realized I could not do dairy anymore; but it turns out its super easy.

I preheated the oven to 450 degrees and oiled my popover/Yorkshire tins and placed them in the oven to get hot. Then I mixed 1 cup of flour with 3 large eggs 1 cup of Pacific Foods brand cashew milk, 2 tsp of baking powder and some salt and pepper. I mixed this by hand until smooth and set aside.

Once the oven hits temperature and the tins are nice and hot inside, pull them out of the oven and quickly pour the batter into each compartment, leaving at least 1/3 of the tin clear from the top... these will puff up and you want them to have space for them to grow. Let these cook without opening the oven door for 20 minutes, check them with the oven light to ensure these have risen.. and pull them out!

I decided to serve these with dairy free mashed potatoes, steamed asparagus and a brown glaze. Again I'm assuming no one needs me to detail these out but if you want me to show how I do dairy free mashed let me know, it's honestly cashew milk again and Earth Balance spread!

The Recipe:

Place garlic slices in the top of the roast and splash with Worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper.

Cook low and slow starting at about 250 degrees and check out the needed internal temperature based on how you like your meat cooked. pull it out when you have about 10 degrees to go and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.

For the Yorskshires:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Add oil to your tins and place in the oven to heat

Mix 1 cup of flour with 3 eggs

1 cup of nut milk

2 tsp of baking powder and a pinch of salt and pepper

mix until smooth

Bring the tins out and quickly fill 2/3 with batter.

bake for 20 minutes. Serve while hot.
