I've been so busy this past month I need to get caught up on posting, so I may as well start with this.
We cooked these a few weeks back on the MAK, and man were they good!
I wanted some beef and the butcher had some great looking beef short ribs around $2.79/lb. I rubbed them up with some of Tee's M3 rub (he really needs to start selling this stuff; it is excellent on beef), and put them on the MAK to smoke for a bit. You can use your favorite rub for beef.
Then I bumped the temp up to about 250° for a couple hours until they looked like this:
I lined the bottom of a baking dish with a layer of chopped onion and mixed up some braising liquid - about 1/2 cup each: Cider Vinegar, beer & brown sugar.
The short ribs were placed on top of the onion, and the braising liquid poured in. The dish was then covered and the temp bumped up to about 275° for a couple hours.
Later carrots were added to the dish, and covered to cook until the ribs were tender.
Served with some mashed potatoes and the sauce in the baking dish.
As Jaxon would say... Mmmmm, Mmmm good!
