Whiskey Smoked Prime Rib Recipes

WHISKEY SMOKED PRIME RIB

Steps:

• Prepare 3/4 of the charcoal in smoker. Reserve the rest for keeping your heat at 225 to 250 degrees.
• Soak the wood chips in the water and bourbon.
• Rub roast with 5 dry seasonings and let it rest at room temperature until the smoker comes to heat.
• Place roast in smoker and close the lid.
• Toss a few handfulls of chips on the fire after about 10 minutes cooking time.
• Check roast's temperature every 50 minutes or so. (Using a remote thermometer with a lead is an even better idea. That way your heat will remain steady during your cooking time.).
• Keep close watch on the smoker's thermometer. Don't let the temp, vary more than 10 degrees up or down.
• Be sure to keep smoke flowing by adding chips as needed.
• It takes about 8 hours for the roast to reach an internal temperature of 140 to 145 degrees.
• Remove cooked roast from smoker and allow it to rest for 15 minutes.

SCOTT HIBB'S AMAZING WHISKY GRILLED BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degree F (150 degrees C).
• Cut each full rack of ribs in half, so that you have 4 half racks. Sprinkle salt and pepper (more pepper than salt), and 1 tablespoon chile pepper over meat. Wrap each half rack in aluminum foil. Bake for 2 1/2 hours.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir the onions in oil for 5 minutes. Stir in water, tomato paste, vinegar, brown sugar, honey, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with 2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, liquid smoke, whiskey, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dark molasses, and 1/2 tablespoon ground chile pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat. Simmer for 1 1/4 hours, uncovered, or until sauce thickens. Remove from heat, and set sauce aside.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
• Remove the ribs from the oven, and let stand 10 minutes. Remove the racks from the foil, and place on the grill. Grill the ribs for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Brush sauce on the ribs while they're grilling, just before you serve them (adding it too early will burn it).
