Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup of unsalted butter, softened, or olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons of Herbes de Provence
  • 1 (4-5 pound) prime rib roast, removal of excess fat
  • 3 garlic cloves, grinded
  • 1 tablespoon of black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire dressing
  • Horseradish dressing, serving an optional purpose

Instructions
 

  • The first step to doing this is to get a small bowl where you’ll get to stir together the butter, Worcestershire dressing, garlic, and Herbes de Provence and this will be done till they’re all well-mixed.
  • The next instruction is to sprinkle the salt and pepper on top of the rib roast, dabbing it into the meat.
  • Then, you lay out the mixed butter all over the whole roast and this can be done with the use of a pastry brush, your fingers, or a rubber spatula.
  • With a plastic wrap, cover the roast slackly, and then you put it into a refrigerator which you will leave there for about at least 2 hours, or probably leave it there overnight.
  • After that and when the prime rib is ready for cooking, you will need to heat the pellet smoker or probably pellet grill to around 225 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • You will then remove the roast that has been in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, then leave it to come to room temperature which should be only taken around 15 minutes.
  • The next thing to do is to lay down the rib roast on the grate of the heat-up smoker, then bone side down, and lastly close the lid. Till the internal temperature of the center of the roast reaches 130 degrees Fahrenheit which timeframe should be around 2 hours to 3 hours based on its side, you have to keep smoking it.
  • After this, you take away the prime rib from the smoker, then set it on a cutting board. You can then canvas the roast with foil and leave it for about 20 minutes before you proceed to cutting it and then serving it alongside horseradish dressing.
