  • Butchers’ twine

  • 12 oz package of bacon

  • 3-4 ounces of blue cheese

  • 0.5 oz Dry Vermouth

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Serves 6-8

  1. Carefully work knife through prime rib, butterflying meat to open and increase surface area (see video).

  2. Add one package of cooked/chopped bacon, several ounces of blue cheese, season with black pepper.

  3. Roll-up roast, tie with butchers’ twine, season outside with beef rub (or just salt & pepper) and coat entire roast with compound butter (2 sticks worth).

  4. Smoke or roast in oven at 250F until internal temp of 120-125 for medium rare (about 3 hours). Set drip pan below roast.

  5. If exterior has not developed a thick enough bark when temp is reached, rest roast for 45 minutes, increase smoker/oven temp to 550F and sear until desired crust is formed (~10 minutes). Rest for at least 20 minutes, strain juices from drip pan.

  6. Make your Dirty Gin Martini: combine gin and dry vermouth in a cup with ice, add a splash of the olive juice. Strain out the ice and garnish with your blue cheese stuffed olives.

  7. Slice and serve alongside pan drippings and horseradish sauce. Enjoy!
