Title: Rye Whiskey Braised Beef Shorties
Post by: hikerman on July 03, 2016, 11:39:57 AM
This wonderful way of cooking shorties was inspired by a recipe from Traeger.
 www.traegergrills.com/recipes/beef/bourbon-braised-beef-short-ribs
Variances included:
* I dry-brined overnight.
* Used Meathead's Beef Rub
* Used Rye Whiskey rather than bourbon  8)
* Used aluminum pan
The GMG D. Boone was burning Lumberjack hickory-oak-cherry pellets.
Verdict: Absolutely fantastic!  So tender and succulent,  with so much flavor that added to the beefiness and didn't overpower it.
Plated with a cheesy buttery polenta and Italian-style spinach. A few glasses of merlot completed this fine meal!
A safe and fun Independence Day weekend to all!
God bless America!

Ok Gene, I have been looking again at this hard and I have a question. ???

Variances included:
* I dry-brined overnight. Please a bit more on how you did this?
* Used Rye Whiskey rather than bourbon, Thank you for supporting Canada ;D

I am hoping to try this early next week.

Sure Drew, I salted using a liberal amount of kosher salt and a bit of fresh ground pepper and placed on a rack over a pan, covered with saran wrap. Refrigerated 12 hours or so. No problem with the salt from dry-brining as Meathead's Big Beef Rub has no salt!
And you are welcome about helping out my Canadian friends! Rye is my favorite elixir! 8)

Looks delicious, it pains me to use good whiskey to cook with, but sometimes you just gotta do it.

I always seem to lose the top every time I uncork a bottle to cook with. Since I can't let it just sit on the shelf and evaporate I have to go ahead and drink the rest of it.

Haven't seen any decent beef ribs around here for quite some time.  After seeing those, I will have to look harder or bribe the butcher!
