Title: Slow cooker Prime Rib
Post by: smokendevo on June 24, 2014, 06:19:23 PM
Had taken a prime rib out of the freezer a few days ago to do in the PBC but we have had down pours and lighting storms for 3 days so I had to come up with another idea. Thought I should sear it on every side to keep the juices locked in side so I used the grill grates upside down for the job. A simple garlic salt and pepper rub was applied before hand. Worked very well for searing.

So I added some beef broth, potatoes, green peppers, mushrooms and onions to the mix. Dropped the prime rib on top and put the meat probe from my plug-and-play PID temperature controller from auberins. I set it to shut down the slow cooker at 135 F. And off to town I went. This was around 11 AM this morning.

Picked my son up at school and came home to hear the peeping noise from the controller telling me it was done. The IT had fallen to 128 F so I plugged it back in as it was to early for supper.
It came back to temp in about 35 minutes so out it came and I wrapped it in tin foil and made up some mashed potatoes and got some corn going. The rest is history. Not the way I wanted to do it but it turned out not to bad.

This is after it hit 135 F

That looks real good to me. We had a crowd over for Easter and Wendy did two prime ribs in our electric turkey roaster. I pouted all day cause I couldn't smoke them but they came out real good. Looks like you had a darn good results with the slo cooker.  8)

We've had a lot of rain & storms the past few days too, so I can relate.  It may not be the way you wanted to cook them, but it sure looks like you had one fine meal.

Suggestion :
Put both probes in the meat. Set cycle one to end when the food probe hits 135; set cycle 2 so the cabinet temp probe (which is also inserted in the meat ) is set to 135* and the end of cycle is set to a few hours that you will be away. That way it should keep the meat at 135*
