When to Sear
« on: April 10, 2020, 06:19:26 PM »
Planning on doing a 2 bone 5.3 lb prime rib roast for Easter. Do you sear prior to putting on the smoker or wait until it reaches your ideal IT before sear? Probably going for an IT of 130.

My most recent Prime Ribs haven't been seared at all.  See this post.

If you want 130 whn done, take off the fire at 125 and let it rest for 20 min.  I will carry over to 130.  If searing take off at maybe 123 or so sear and rest.

I have found that a MAPP's torch works very well.  It can be applied as the cut rests, it will not add really anything to the IT of the cut as you will only use it for 2 or 3 minutes.  You have much better control of an even sear and if there are pockets of fat you would really like to get crisp, it does a wonderful job!

I agree with pmillen.  I have not seared a rib roast before or after a cook in a long time.  I will be cooking a boneless leg of lamb tomorrow, and I will not sear that piece of meat either.
