First attempt at beef short ribs

[Edison W]

I've seen so many cooks of beef short ribs lately that I decided to give it a shot. Probably not the highest quality meat (but sufficient enough for a first go round) and not that meaty at all. Seasoned with salt and pepper and smoked with hickory at 275 for about 3.5 hours. Turned out very tender and juicy, but I realized that I just don't really care for the taste of beef ribs...but nice knowing that I can cook them if requested. Overall I was the most pleased with the baked potato. First time making one on the smoker, and I was shocked at how tasty and fluffy it turned out. Asparagus cooked on the gasser. Sorry about the pics...used my phone...too lazy to break out the Nikon DSLR today.

Haven't had beef short ribs in a long time! That tender sliced pic is inspiring me though. Pics look good to me.

Wow! Those ribs look perfect and juicy!
Only 3.5 hours.... Mmmmmmmm....... I must shortened my cook!

Great looking ribs...when I do short ribs, I smoke at 250° for about 3-4 hours, then cover and braise in some beer for about two hours...come out fantastic.

Edison,

Those look really fine to me. I have been threatening to do some short ribs myself. Now I am going to have to give them a go. I hope mine turn out as good as those did!

Regards,

John

All looks Great! Especially the potatoes. How did you prep and cook the potatoes?

Beef short ribs are my most favorite BBQ meat.
Next time make mashed potatoes with the smoked tatas. My best mashed potatoes were done that way.

 

[Craig Alumbaugh]

If that was my first attempt I think I would be doing a second attempt, they look mighty tasty. Great job

How did you prep and cook the potatoes?

Rubbed them down with EVOO and sprinkled with kosher salt. Put it on when I put the ribs on, and pulled off at the same time as the ribs.
