Love me some BEEF!!

January 7, 2018, 09:52 AM

I like pork...a lot....but for me beef is where it’s at.
My son’s campus job at the University of Illinois is in the meat lab. They raise, butcher, cut and sell their own beef. So he brings me a really nice 5lb chuck roast and some beef short ribs for my birthday. So I’m just now getting around to cooking. The marbling on this Meat is awesome!! So up early this morning, Kicked off a few kbb’s in the kettle to thaw it out...ha. Grabbed the bbbr and gave the roast a light coating with it and some extra coarse ground black pepper. The ribs got hit with a little sweater homemade rub that usually gives me a nice bark.
So I have the kettle loaded up and she’s sitting on around 255 with a nice apple wood smoke going. I’ll bring her down to 225-230 here in about an hour and let it ride.
Oh, my cooking buddy was up helping me...Ha.

I know, he got a pound of ground head cheese off the counter a couple weeks ago while I was out prepping the smoker. He loves when I’m grilling...Ha.

I'm with you - Beef is Best. However, my doctor begs to differ - healthwise.

Here was the end result. Told my son to make sure to get more of those short ribs, they were some of the best I’ve ever had. He said he gets them for 1.99 lb, I’m thinking more beef ribs are in my future. The bark on the roast was perfect and the meat was melt in your mouth.
I think I have just enough of the roast left for my lunch tomorrow..Ha.

Does your son still live at home? In my house leftovers have a mysterious way of disappearing over night.

Just when he comes home from school. But yea we feed 6 of us so we don’t get many leftovers. I fixed 2 big ribeyes along with the ribs and roast. Only had enough roast left for my lunch.

Started Low-N-Slow BBQ in 2012. Obviously, it's taken hold (in chronological order:
1.) A pair of Weber Smokey Mountain 22.5's
2.) #LilTex, a 22" Expensive Offset Smoker (looks like a Yoder Witicha)
3.) #WhoDat1, a HUGE Gravity Fed Insulated Cabinet Smoker (cooking chamber 3'x2'x6')
4.) A Full Size Commercial Dryer/converted to Vertical Smoker.
5.) Jambo Backyard stickburner (my FAVORITE Pit so far)
6.) GrillMeister, a huge 24"x48" Adjustable, Charcoal Grill from Pitmaker.com
7.) 22" Weber Kettle with Slow-N-Sear
8.) Vault insulated reverse-flow cabinet smoker from Pitmaker
9.) BarbecueFiretruck...under development
10.) 26 foot BBQ Vending Trailer equipped with HUGE Myron Mixon 72xc smoker is HERE, Oct 2016!
11.) Opened www.PaulsRibShackBarbecue.com Food Trailer officially in March 2017
12.) Austin Smoke Works 500 Gallon Propane Tank Offset Smoker, named "Lucille" as travel pit for PaulsRibShack, Oct 2018.
12.) Opening Brick & Mortar location at 4800 Nelson Rd, Spring 2019. Had a pair of 1,000 Gallon Austin Smoke Works pits, both in RibShackRed for our new place!

Fabulous Backlit Thermapens, several Maverick Remote Thermometers (don't use any remotes anymore), Thermoworks Smoke, Other Thermoworks toys, Vacuum sealer, lots and lots of equipment...

I'm loving using BBQ to make friends and build connections.
I have #theRibList where I keep a list of new and old friends and whenever I'm cooking, I make 1 to 20 extra and share the joy.

They have pretty good prices overall, some things are more expensive than say at Costco but overall not bad.
