This recipe won 1st place in the 1996 Chilsolm Trail Roundup BBQ cookoff in Fort Worth, Texas. I usually use pork ribs but this works well for beef ribs too.. Baby backs really do not benefit from this cooking method.

TEXAS BBQ BEEF RIBS



Texas BBQ Beef Ribs image

Beef short ribs, or "dino ribs" as they are called, are the new hot item in Texas and one of my favorite things to smoke right now. Beef short ribs are from the short plate before the 10th rib and have more meat than back or finger ribs. The famous Louie Mueller Barbecue in Taylor, Texas popularized beef ribs in response to Aaron Franklin's "Best Brisket on the Planet" designation. Each one can weigh 1 to 2 pounds. They are rich in flavor and a lot of times better than brisket. Yes I said it.

Time 4h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

hardwood pellets as needed
4 pounds beef short ribs
½ cup Montreal-style steak seasoning
2 tablespoons mild chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
8 fluid ounces apple juice

Steps:

  • Pour wood chips into the hopper of a pellet grill according to manufacturer's instructions. Set temperature to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
  • Trim ribs with a sharp knife to remove as much fat and silver skin from the top of the ribs as possible. Leave the membrane on the bottom of each rack as this will help hold them together as they cook.
  • Place steak seasoning in a coffee grinder or food chopper. Grind to a medium coarseness to reduce the size of the salt crystals. Transfer to a shaker bottle. Add chili powder and garlic powder and shake until evenly combined.
  • Rub 1/2 of the Worcestershire sauce on the bottom of the ribs as a binder, then sprinkle on a medium to heavy coat of the rub mixture. Flip ribs and repeat on the meaty side. Spritz a light coat of apple juice over top to help it "sweat."
  • Immediately place ribs on the preheated pellet grill with the thicker side of the ribs towards the main heat source (toward the back, opposite the lid).
  • Smoke ribs, spritzing them with a light coat of apple juice every 30 minutes to keep moist, until the internal meat temperature reaches 198 to 203 degrees F (92 to 95 degrees C), 4 to 6 hours. If it is taking longer don't be afraid to raise the heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) but just watch the internal temperature a little closer, as the window of being done is smaller due to the higher cooking temperature. The temperature probe should slide into the meat like a brisket or like butter when they are ready.
  • Remove ribs from the grill and place on a large cutting board. Slice into individual ribs to serve, or remove the meat and place on a tray to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Beef back ribs are the most popular choice for barbecue, but you can also use beef short ribs. Back ribs are leaner and have more meat, while short ribs are fattier and have a richer flavor.
  • Prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to help the rub and smoke penetrate the meat. You can also trim excess fat if desired.
  • Apply a rub: A good rub will help to flavor the ribs and create a nice crust. You can use a store-bought rub or make your own.
  • Smoke the ribs: Smoke the ribs at a low temperature (225-250 degrees Fahrenheit) for several hours. This will help to cook the ribs slowly and evenly.
  • Baste the ribs: Basting the ribs with a mixture of apple cider vinegar, water, and brown sugar will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Let the ribs rest: Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

    Conclusion:

    Texas BBQ beef ribs are a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following the tips above, you can make sure that your ribs turn out perfect every time. So fire up your smoker and get ready to enjoy some amazing barbecue!
