Burnt ends...for the lazy man

[Jerome D.]

I've had a craving for burnt ends, but was too lazy to commit the time and effort to smoke a point cut brisket. I tried an experiment using boneless beef short ribs from Costco. I smoked them using sugar maple wood for about 4 hours, cut them into bite-sized cubes, then cooked with a little beef broth into a covered aluminum pan for another hour, then finally sauced and re-smoked for another 30 minutes. All things considered, they were a reasonable facsimile of the real thing, in half the time.

Cool way to make "quick" ends.

Those look delicious Jerome! Will have to add this one to my to grill list.

That's cool! Bet the bark on the ends...of the ends...was delicious.

Not a bad idea, I have had those rib cuts from Costco and they are decent. Not quite brisket point meat, but would/will do in a hurry. Nice job man.

 

[Alan F]

Cool, what temp were you running at?

 

[John Solak]

Those look really good and the pics look great too!! I usually see people using chuck roasts when making faux burnt ends.
