Smoked Beef Ribs
Smoked Beef Ribs
Ingredients
1 (5- to
6-pound) 3-bone-rack beef plate ribs
1 tablespoon yellow
mustard
4 teaspoons kosher
salt
4 teaspoons black
pepper
2 teaspoons granulated
garlic
1 teaspoon chili
powder
1/2 teaspoon granulated
onion
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
pepper
3 oak wood chunks
1/4 cup beef
broth
2 teaspoons Worcestershire
sauce
Peach butchers paper
Directions
Lightly score bone side
of ribs using a sharp knife; do not remove membrane. Pat dry using paper
towels. Rub ribs evenly with mustard. Stir together salt, black pepper, garlic,
chili powder, onion, and cayenne in a small bowl. Sprinkle spice mixture evenly
over top and sides of ribs (no need to season bone side). Set aside, and bring
to room temperature, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Meanwhile, prepare
charcoal fire in smoker according to manufacturer's instructions, bringing
internal temperature to 250°F. Maintain temperature until smoke is burning
cleanly, 15 to 20 minutes. Place oak chunks on coals, and set an empty drip pan
underneath grates. Place ribs, bone side down, on grates, and close lid. Smoke,
undisturbed, for 3 hours, maintaining temperature at 250°F without opening lid.
Place beef broth and
Worcestershire sauce in a food-grade spray bottle; shake well. Spritz top of
ribs with broth mixture to prevent surface from drying out; continue smoking
until a thermometer registers 204°F and thermometer probe encounters no resistance
when inserted into thickest portion of ribs (it should feel like inserting the
probe into a stick of softened butter), 4 to 5 more hours, spritzing with broth
mixture every hour.
Remove ribs from smoker,
and immediately wrap in peach butchers paper. Place wrapped ribs inside a clean
insulated cooler with drain stopper removed or in a cold oven with door
slightly open; let rest for at least 1 hour or up to 3 hours. Slice ribs between
bones. Serve on the bone; or, slice meat from the bone, and cut into smaller
portions.
Alternate method
Fill hopper of a pellet
grill with oak pellets. Prepare pellet grill for indirect smoking; set
temperature to 250℉, and let preheat for 15 minutes with lid closed.
Proceed with recipe as directed.
