Title: Beef ribs fit for Fred Flintstone
Post by: flbentrider on February 10, 2013, 07:00:41 PM
Beef ribs - This is one of those "nemesis" cuts that I have not been able to get to turn out the way I wanted. I think the problem has been more with the source meat than the methods.

Started with some beef ribs from RD

Keeping it simple with Kosher salt, pepper and Garlic

On the MAK 2 star with Oak and Mesquite. Pellet Boss set to 275F

Getting happy. Almost there

Looking good. This is the 4 hour mark

Done!

Sliced. Wow. Like chuck roast on a stick!

I think she likes it!

There is just something primal about picking up a bone with that big a hunk of meat on it and eating it.

If the source product I was using in my other attempts were this meaty, I think I would have done better in the past.

The Mrs. Wasn't real thrilled with the idea of beef ribs (given the results of my previous attempts) but she liked them.

And lets not forget dessert!

Those are some of the meatiest I've seen.  Wish I could get my hands on some like that and have them turn out as well as your's.  You did a good job of simple spicing before cooking.  Dee

I saw how thick they were at RD, and they went in the cart. I had no idea what I was going to do with them.

I just started a new job in SF just 2 blocks away from a RD. Will any resale number do if you are not in the food biz??

All you need at ours is a biz license.

SS, a KCBS membership will get you into RD as well.   They issue you a 'day pass' every time, but trust me, you can do a lot of damage to your checking account in a 'day'...

Are those the beef short ribs? Had those tonight. Bought a huge pack from RD and divided them up. I think I actually like the short ribs verses a chuck roast. Cook it like a pot roast. So good and so tender. The fat in the beef, not on top, really helps.
