Hi all,

My first proper post and my first attempt at beef short ribs.

Got these from a high quality butcher in London, UK and set about removing membrane and trimming the fat;

Used pecan and apple wood for some smoke and cooked at a steady 225 degrees for about 4 hours. I wrapped them tight in foil after this for about an hour. Then back on for 20 minutes to firm up. I had a couple of mates from work over to sample them so no sauce for the first taste test.

They came off like this;

The outcome; the texture was fantastic, flavour was extremely rich. We all enjoyed the beef, but next time will be looking at adding some kind of sauce.
 
Great looking ribs. I love beef ribs , but you are right . They can be rich. I like a nice vinegar based dipping sauce to go along with them. And maybe just a light glaze of same during the last 15 minutes or so of cooking. Welcome to the forum.
 
Welcome aboard, Pete! A heck of a first cook/post. Short ribs are looking outstanding.
