So I screwed up and got the wrong ribs, need advice...

[Paul Hart]

I read that on amazing ribs this morning under the beef ribs section. They said to leave the membrane ON for beef ribs because it holds them together. So I did. Am I screwed again? Lol. I can't win.
What should I do?

I dunno man, I obviously have no experience with beef ribs. Mine Prob don't have any meat one them. I'll go out there to take them off and it'll just be a bunch of evenly spaced bones with nothing between them. Lol. I'll just make some stock out of them or Something.
Well, I'm crossing my fingers. I'm assuming there's no getting the membrane off after the fact.

They were pretty tasty. A bit too salty, but I know better next time. PBC does something to beef that's similar across all the various cuts I've tried. I'm about 15 min from 4 hours on the St Louis. I gave them a layer of sauce about 15 min ago.
Beef ribs look very Fred Flintstone like.

Those beef ribs look good. I usually will cook them like pork spareribs. I never take the membrane off of beef ribs...mostly cause it is hard to do so I leave it on.

Amazing ribs gets a lot of stuff right, but beef ribs is one place where I think they miss the mark a little. Just my opinion, and you know what they say about that! 


I do have to agree with Smoke that the membrane on beef ribs can be VERY hard to get off.  And thinking upon the fact that you're hanging it in your pit barrel it may be best that you left it on.

For a regular grill/smoker unless the meat on beef ribs are really thin, I try to get as much of it off as I can it off.   If the ribs are too thin to get the membrane off without tearing them up, then I will at least score it or it can tighten up like the silver skin on a tenderloin making the meat seem tougher.

Do you think a coating of TendaRub on beef ribs would be the way to go?  Might be another challenge for Smoochy.

Those beef ribs look good!

You get a lot of pull away from the bone like that when they are done.

There's no such thing as "wrong ribs". Those make great nibbles while partaking in adult beverages.

Those ribs look great... I think you are too hard on yourself .   You have to try things to know for sure and improve.
 So next time ease up on the salt a little...
 I follow what tent said with the skin. If it is to much trouble to remove , score it.

I agree!  Well skip the adult beverage 

They do look good

Since Tendarub has a fairly neutral flavor, I might try it for "meat glue" to hold my rub in place. I will run this by the smooch and see if he is down for it
