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.

TEXAS BBQ RIBS



TEXAS BBQ RIBS image

Categories     Beef     Pork     Grill/Barbecue

Yield 6 generous servings or more appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 racks of pork side ribs , baby back pork ribs, or beef ribs, about 4 pounds.
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
8 shakes tabasco or hot sauce, about 1 & 1/2 tsp.
1&1/2 Tablespoon Lea and Perrins Worchestershire sauce.
2 teaspoons lemon juice, fresh or Reallemon.
1 Tablespoon white vinegar
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 tsp each salt, seasoning salt, fresh black pepper, parsley.
1 tablespoon rosemary
1 teaspoon prepared mustard

Steps:

  • Using a large pot, cut ribs if you wish , or place ribs in boiling pot of salted water, until meat is no longer pink. Remove ribs and let sit to cool while you prepare the other ingredients in a large bowl. Mix all ingredients for sauce together, and place ribs into sauce to coat generously. At this point, you can cut the ribs into sections small enough to place in a large Ziploc bag and add sauce, which makes it easier to store in the fridge until ready to cook over BBQ. If not,place remaining sauce in a dish, place ribs on a platter, and take to your BBQ to grill on med-high heat. Baste often with sauce ( this is fine as ribs have already been cooked once and will not cause contamination of sauce ). Ribs take about 15 minutes or cook to your liking basting often. These ribs can also be made on a firepit, just place ribs in aluminum foil, and place in a cast iron frypan or over a firepit grate.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Select high-quality pork ribs, such as baby back or spare ribs, that are meaty and have good marbling.
  • Prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and trim off any excess fat.
  • Season the ribs: Apply a flavorful rub to the ribs, using a combination of spices, herbs, and brown sugar.
  • Smoke the ribs: Cook the ribs low and slow over indirect heat, using a smoker or grill, until they are tender and fall-off-the-bone.
  • Baste the ribs: During the cooking process, baste the ribs with a mixture of melted butter, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar to add flavor and moisture.
  • Let the ribs rest: Allow the ribs to rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Conclusion:

With careful preparation, cooking, and attention to detail, you can create delicious and authentic Texas BBQ ribs at home. Experiment with different rubs, woods, and basting liquids to find your personal favorite combination. Remember, patience is key, as the low and slow cooking process is what gives Texas BBQ ribs their characteristic tenderness and flavor. Invite your friends and family over for a backyard barbecue and enjoy a taste of authentic Texas BBQ ribs, homemade with love.
