Blue Smokes Beef Ribs Recipes

SALT-AND-PEPPER BEEF RIBS

Steps:

• On one-half of a grill fitted with a cover, build a small charcoal fire, about the size of a loaf of commercial sandwich bread, making sure all the charcoal becomes engulfed in flame.
• Place the ribs meat-side down on a baking sheet or cutting board and remove the papery membrane from the back of the rack by inserting a small knife beneath it and levering it up to give you enough to gain purchase with a dish towel. Peel off the membrane and discard.
• Mix the salt, pepper, brown sugar, paprika and, if you choose, red-pepper flakes in a bowl, breaking up the brown sugar with a fork. Using your hands, cover the meat entirely in this rub.
• When the flames begin to die down, leaving flickering coals, place the rib racks meat-side up on the half of the grill without the burning charcoal. Do not let the flames touch the meat at any time. Add a handful of the hickory chips to the fire. Cover the grill, vent slightly and cook, adding a handful of hickory chips every 30 minutes and a bit more fuel as necessary, until the meat is crusty, soft to the touch and well browned, about two and a half hours.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Set the ribs on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for around 5 hours.
• Cut into individual portions. Serve with extra napkins and, if you choose, barbecue sauce.

SMOKED BEEF BACK RIBS RECIPE - TRAEGER GRILLS

Steps:

• If your butcher has not already done so, remove the thin, papery membrane from the bone-side of the ribs by working the tip of a butter knife underneath the membrane over a middle bone. Use paper towels to get a firm grip, then tear the membrane off.
• Season both sides of ribs with Traeger Beef Rub.
• When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 225°F and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.
• Insert the probe horizontally into the center of the meaty section of the ribs, avoiding the bones. Set the ribs directly on the grill grates, bone-side down. Close the lid and cook until the internal temperature reaches 205℉, 8-10 hours.
• Remove ribs from grill and let rest, lightly covered with foil, for 20 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
