    When you think of beef ribs most likely you are thinking of the beef "dino" ribs. Which, this cut of beef rib is one of the best cuts you can smoke. The beef back ribs are a lesser known cut of beef rib that is equally delicious.
    This cut of beef is one of the best cuts you can smoke. If you cook it similar to a pork rib you will have great results. If cooked properly you will see why the beef back ribs are a great option if you have a smoker.
    In this video I smoke these beef back ribs on my reverse flow offset smoker. You can smoke these on a wide variety of grills and smokers so definitely give them a try.

    Followed this recipe. It’s more about temp and internal temp of ribs. I did 250 degrees for 3 hours, wrapped for 1 hour and the ribs were melt in your mouth. Little chewing needed. I used beef au jus for the liquid marinade. Amazing!!

    I've got the same ribs on the freezer. Going to have to do these soon. Your ribs turned out awesome and I'm sure they were wonderfull tasting :-) Great color and nicely tender and you can't beat beef tallow when the ribs are wrapped up. All the right things to do in order to make perfect beef ribs.

    Golden bullet point that I didn't know: The brown butcher paper then beef tallow AND then smoking for another hour. I had thought that the butcher paper was used to just wrap the ribs at the end and I was disappointed that it always seemed dry compared to my foil wrapped ribs which of course retained the moisture and oils. Things I did know: Yes you have to smoke the ribs to 200F for that fall of the bone and extreme smoke flavor- use a an instant read thermometer. Things I would add: Coat the ribs in mustard to tenderize it, add onion, paprika powder to the SPG sprinkle. The thing I'm surprised at: This really is the best way to do beef ribs I have come upon and I have friends who have failed (including me) as the golden bullet point made the difference between a dry fall of the bone vs moist and juicy fall of the bone beef ribs.

    • @SmokestackJoes
      @SmokestackJoes  Před 6 měsíci
