Beef Ribs - a classic

[Henrik]

I decided to put one of the eight cheapo grills I bought to the test today. I did a dry run yesterday to see how it behaved, and today was cook day. I placed the Slow N Sear in the grill, and I have applied a felt gasket to the lid, so it doesn't leak air anywhere. I used 'cuba' charcoal, a real good charcoal made from the Marabu tree. I always use briquettes with the SnS, so I thought it would be fun to use charcoal for once. I got a good 7 hours running at 130° C / 265° F.

I used two chunks of cherry wood for smoke flavor. All in all the cook took 5.5 hours, plus 1 hour rest in a faux cambro. Easy cook, didn't even touch them until they were done. I used my own Signature rub, I think it's a good match for that bold beefy flavor.


The beef ribs, just out of the faux cambro



Here they are, sliced, real juicy:



I served them with some green beans and blue cheese.



That blue cheese is a great match for beef ribs.

Dannnnng! Looks great Henrik!

[Henrik]

Thanks my man! I'm glad I'm doing these practice cooks, always helps with a new cooker. This one is a bit slower than a Weber when it comes to tweaking temps with the vents. Most likely because the holes are just a bit smaller.

So, the cheap kettles is the key! Ok, where do we get one, where do we get one?

The wibs look gweat BTW. 👍 🕶

[Henrik]

Thanks! Yes, I'm so far impressed with them. Although I kind of cheated, since I put in a felt gasket and an SnS. But still, definitely worth it!

Nice.

FireMan I know you’re kidding but I saw this in Savannah and was waiting for a chance to post.

[Henrik]

There you go! Ladies and gents, place your orders ;-)

[Troutman]

Just goes to show, it ain’t necessarily the cooker but the cookie that matters 👍

Nice work, love the blue cheese, good touch !!

[Henrik]

Exactly! And thanks Troutman

Nice looking cook, Henrik I know everybody is gaga over the plate short ribs, but they are difficult to get around here. I would have to special order them and pay a premium price. I can get chuck shorties like yours at the supermarket if I ask nicely, and, if they have a special on short ribs, they are reasonably priced. I have had good luck with them and folks seem to like them, especially if there are some who don't eat pork ! I mostly use APL's approach but use BBBR with cumin.

[Henrik]

Sounds like a great flavor combo too. I don't find them that often here either, these are from Nebraska. Travelled a long way to end up in my belly :-)

Makes me want to do some soon! Nice!

[Henrik]

The thing is they are just as easy/forgiving as a pork butt. I just put them on, waited, and boom: done. Easy peasy! My kind of dinner :-)

Made me hungry. Nice cook.

Those look amazing.
Looks like I'm finding some beef ribs to smoke this weekend.

[Henrik]

Yup!
