I tried cooking short ribs one other time with some less than stellar results.

My wife was just discharged yesterday from the hospital for surgery and I took off the week to care for her. She was doing well, and since I planned to be home all day, I decided to make a quick run to Costco to see what they had. I thought about a brisket or pork butt, but since her appetite is still pretty poor and my brother and his family (to whom I usually give my extra food) were going to Disney, I didn't want a large volume of meat. I came across this beauty and felt I was ready for redemption.

They were cheaper than what I paid on my first attempt and they were Prime!!! I took them home and opened up the Cryovac bag. It contained
2 four bone slabs. I repackaged one set and put them in the freezer for a later date.

Membrane removed

Beautiful marbling will put any doubt that this was the real Prime McCoy.

Rubbed with a little Mayo and SYD Hot

Filled up the basket with some KBB and 3 chunks of Hickory and 2 of Pecan. Started with MM, and waited an hour until getting TBS. Cooked at 275.

Wrapped after 3 hours with some brown sugar and Mango Nectar (Harry Soo recipe).

Cooked in foil for about an hour and then finished off bare adding a little au jus/molasses sauce. Coated with a very light coat of Montgomery Inn BBQ after pulling off the grill

Let rest for 15 minutes then sliced.

Plated pic.

They were incredible!!! Tender and very moist. Can't wait to do them again. The previous attempt was done with some poor quality beef. They were even marked as soup bones, but in my arrogance I thought I could polish that turd with a little help from the old WSM. It just goes to show you that there is no replacement for a quality product.
