Description
A super easy ribeye roast recipe that you can prep quickly any day of the week. This smoked ribeye roast is seasoned perfectly: juicy and tender on the inside with a smoky caramelized crust on the outside.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
For the roast:
- 4 to 5 pound Ribeye Roast (I get my meat here)
- sea salt
- avocado oil (I use this brand)
For the rub:
- 1 tablespoon dried rosemary (I use this brand of spices)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons mustard seed
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon celery salt
- 1 teaspoon sea salt (this is the only salt I use)
Instructions
- Trim the excess fat off the top of your roast (optional) and season generously all over with sea salt. If you have time to prepare the meat in advance, I recommend letting it sit in the fridge, salted, for 24 hours. If not, no worries. It will still be delicious.
- Preheat the smoker on the low setting (180°F) If you are using a Rec Tec RT700, we used the Xtreme Smoke setting.
- While your smoker is coming to temperature, heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once your pan is hot, sear the roast on all sides, until it is caramelized and a nice crust has formed.
- Transfer it to a plate or a cutting board to cool.
- While the meat is cooling, mix up the spice rub.
- Coat the meat liberally on all sides in the spice rub.
- Transfer the roast to the smoker, placing it directly on the grill grates.
- Smoke until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (for medium rare)
- Once it reaches the desired internal temperature, remove it from the smoker, tent it with foil, and let it rest for 30 minutes before slicing into it.
