Beef Ribs

[Tommy B]

After watching BBQ with Franklin on Beef Ribs I have been meaning to give them a try. I went to my local butcher and bought a 4 bone slab of beef chuck ribs. The whole slab was 4lbs and had a very brisket like grain. I cooked them at 280 for 5.5 hours. I had a temp probe in them and they felt tender around 204 degrees internally. I have never really sprtiz/mopped meat before. I like a good crust and always just let it cook. This time I very lightly basted the meat 3 times with plain water. When I say baste just barely got the edges wet so they didn't dry out. The black pepper/salt bark was the best I have ever cooked. I will baste/spritz everything from now on!

I rubbed with kosher salt and course ground black pepper. Anything worth BBQing is worth covering in black pepper.


after about 2 hours


Off the smoker to rest


sliced


bark was fantastic


super juicy


The rib was about the size of my plate! First time in my life I can say I ate just one rib!

I saw the same episode and want to cook the same thing. Those look amazing. How much per pound did you pay? I need to find a butcher here that I can get some from.

 

[Dale Nichols]

I do mine like that also thanks to Aaron. I turns out good ribs.

I paid $5.99/LB. Rack was roughly 4 LBS. Out the door I spent about $25.

That is a pretty good price. I need to find some pronto.

Ribs look awesome! I have been thinking about smoking some of those, but i haven't been able to find them at any of the places that are near to me.

I love the bark and that tender Buffy goodness inside. Really nice meal!
