Roadhouse Prime Rib

Ingredients:

1 medium-sized prime rib loin

2 tbsp. black pepper
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup minced garlic
2 tbsp. kosher salt
1/4 cup hickory liquid smoke
2 tbsp. sugar
2 cups water

Directions:

Combine liquid smoke, black pepper, soy sauce, garlic, and sugar in a small mixing bowl.

Mix seasoning until the sugar and salt has been incorporated into the liquid.

Place the prime rib loin in a baking pan.

Take a handful of the seasoning mix and rub into the loin. Rub the seasonings into the top and sides, then flip the loin to coat the bottom side of the meat.

Cover the meat with plastic wrap and place in a refrigerator.

Allow the meat to marinate for at least 4 hours. For best results, allow the meat to marinate overnight.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

Add 2 cups of water to a pan and place it on the bottom rack in your oven.

Remove the plastic wrap from the loin, then place the pan with the loin on the middle rack in the oven.

Cook for 30 minutes to sear the outside, then place a meat thermometer in the middle of the loin.

Turn down the temperature to 250 degrees.

Cook the loin until your desired temperature is reached.

Rare occurs at 140 degrees, medium rare at 150, medium at 160, medium rare at 170 and well done at 180.
