INGREDIENTS
BOURBON BUTTER
1/2 Cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 Clove Garlic, minced
2 Tablespoon bourbon

To Taste Traeger Prime Rib Rub
STEPS
1
Make the bourbon butter: In a small bowl, stir together the butter, garlic, bourbon, chives, parsley, salt, and pepper with a wooden spoon until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
2
When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 180℉ and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes. For optimal flavor, use Super Smoke, if available.
3
Generously season the steaks with Traeger Prime Rib Rub.
4
Insert the probe into the the center of a steak, avoiding the bone and any large pockets of fat. Place the steaks directly on the grill grates, close the lid, and smoke for 1 hour.
5
Remove the steaks from the grill. Increase the grill temperature to 500℉.
6
When the grill is hot, return the steaks to the grill and reinsert the probe. Close the lid, and cook, turning once, until the internal temperature reaches 135℉ for medium-rare, 6-8 minutes per side, or your desired temperature
7
Transfer the steaks to a serving platter and immediately top each with a pat of the bourbon butter. Let the meat rest for 3 minutes before slicing or serving. Enjoy!
