Beef Short ribs for the first time

February 3, 2015, 11:21 AM

For the first time I will be doing beef short ribs tomorrow and I trim and remove most of the fat cap and dry brine them yesterday. Just took them back out of the fridge to applied the BBBR rub on them and back in the fridge so the rub will have plenty of time to do its magic. More pics will be posted during and after the cook.

DW,
If its possible, can you get some pics of your cooker rolling with those ribs cooking. I'd love to see your stick burner in action. That meat looks mighty tasty my friend. Good luck with the cook man!!!

Personally I like to sauce beef ribs about 30 to 45 minutes before they're done using a Kansas City Style BBQ sauce and crank the heat up to 300. After sauce, I put them in a covered pan. It gives them a "burnt ends" taste.

I like to use sauce when the meat is done and it's on the plate but I never had smoked short ribs before either so I might have to try your way PB.
