Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (80g) beef tallow, softened

  • 5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 tsp (4g) freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp (5g) finely chopped rosemary

  • 1 Tbsp(19g) dark soy
  • 6-8 lbs (2.72-3.62kg) boneless prime rib roast

  1. Preheat a smoker, or oven if you don’t have a smoker, to 225℉ / 107℃.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the tallow, mustard, garlic, black pepper, rosemary, salt, nam prik pao and soy sauce until evenly combined.
