Aight Guys!! When it comes to holiday meals, we usually focus on 2 main meals and that is Thanksgiving lunch/dinner and Christmas Eve Dinner. The rest of the time it's holiday snacks and sweets and all the things that make you fat and happy! So for this particular recipe, we decided to focus on what would be our Christmas Eve dinner. My whole family loves prime rib, so that is always on the menu for our Christmas Eve dinner.

Directions
Rosemary Garlic Prime Rib Butter Rub
Put all ingredients in a bowl and mix until well combined.
Prime Rib
Preheat Pellet Smoker to 250 degrees.
Trim your Rib Roast to your liking and cover well on all sides with the Rosemary Garlic Prime Rib Butter Rub.
Place Rib Roast on the pellet smoker and allow to cook until it hits an internal temperature of 123 degrees. I flipped mine halfway through the cook.
When your prime rib reaches 123 internal temperature, place on a cutting board, tent with foil and allow to rest for 20-30 minutes.
Scalloped Potatoes
Pour heavy cream, onions, and salt and pepper into a bowl and mix well.
Spray a 9” X 13” pan with cooking spray.
Add a layer of potatoes in the bottom of the pan slightly overlapping each other and season with my Aight Guys!! AbsolutelyFreakinKiller AP Rub.
Sprinkle a cup of shredded cheese over the potatoes.
Add another layer of potatoes, season with my AP Rub and pour the heavy cream mixture over the top.
Top with remaining cheese, cover with foil and place in a preheated 350 degree oven/smoker for 1 hour.
After 1 hour, remove foil and allow to cook for another 45 minutes.
Caesar Salad
In a bowl, mix together parmesan cheese, vegetable oil, eggs, lemon juice and salt and pepper until well combined. Place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to an hour.
Brush each half of romaine with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Fire up your gas/charcoal grill to high heat and place the romaine cut side down on the grill and allow to lightly char.
To plate your salad, place romaine cut side up, drizzle with salad dressing and top with croutons.
Horseradish Sauce
Mix all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to an hour.
Final Plating
Slice your prime rib into ½” slices and it’s time to get everything plated up! Grab you a slice of prime rib, some scalloped potatoes, a romaine half and some of that creamy horseradish sauce! Dig in and Enjoy!

If you aren't a fan of prime rib, you can always substitute ham or turkey for your protein!
