Mmmmm…. cheesy goodness…..

Smoked Prime Rib Poutine

The idea for this smoked prime rib poutine came from Three Boars Eatery in Edmonton, when I had their Brisket Poutine. As a Canadian I have had my fair share of poutine and it’s a “treat” that I don’t get tired of; and I wanted to test out a bit of a different poutine. Foodies are no strangers to experimenting with poutines; check out these blogs that have different interesting poutines: butter chicken poutine, corned beef poutine with Guinness gravy, and lobster poutine.

This recipe can take a good part of the day or you can smoke the meat on one day and make the poutine on another. Either way you will need to start by smoking your prime rib for about six hours, using the coffee rub I shared in a previous post.

While your prime rib is smoking, mop it with a sauce every 30 minutes. The mop sauce I use is made of melted butter, apple cider vinegar, apple juice, chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce and garlic powder. I love the smokey mesquite smell the smoker gives off and the sound of the fat dripping off the prime rib and sizzling when it hits the bottom of the smoker. The tradition at my house is to sit outside all day when the smoker is going to enjoy the aroma. Once the prime rib is done, chop it up and set it aside for the poutine.

Cut baby potatoes into quarters, drizzle with olive oil and a sprinkle salt and pepper. Add in the fresh chopped rosemary and roast on the barbecue on high heat in a foil dish covered for about 40 minutes, until the potatoes are soft, golden and crispy on the outside. Place the sizzling hot, crispy potatoes in a dish and layer the juicy smokey prime rib on top.

Crumble the cheese curds overtop and spread out evenly to ensure that each potato has a little bit of melty cheese clinging onto it. Then pour the piping hot, salty gravy overtop everything and watch as the cheese melts into the golden potatoes and succulent prime rib chunks. Now enjoy!
