Beef ribs

[Jerry Callo 8,695]

What exact cut is that? Those pulled back from the bone a lot less than the last ones I did. Looks great though.

I asked the butcher for beef plate ribs. Got two pack of mystery select, short ribs, probably chuck. ribs.

Time to eat.

I picked up some at the Cedar Park Costco on Saturday for the same price.  Will probably grab another couple slabs today.

I'm being brave and trying beef ribs (chuck ribs) for the first time for xmas dinner. 

I'm trying to plan how long they'll take, and see varying times from different sources. I'll be cooking on a UDS, which can tend to be a bit faster than an offset it seems. 

I think I'll probably cook at ~285 at the grate (maybe at 300 depending on the responses I get here). 

Planning to go bone down. Not planning to wrap them unless it looks necessary - if I do I'll wrap in butcher paper. 

Thoughts / tips from my UDS brethren?

Weight and/or number of bones would be helpful.

[BillyBadAss 189]

9 pounds total. 2 racks, 4 bones each. They came in a 2-pack from HEB very similar looking to what deft posted near the top of page 2. 

edit: a lot like the 2 pack you (Dr Fear) posted on the last page as well. One rack is bigger, thicker than the other.

Franklin has a simple video on beef ribs.  If I remember correctly, 285 for 5 hours, check and spritz, another hour until done.  Rest for 30 minutes or so.

Asking for a friend. What would you do w the leftover bones of a prime rib post cook?

Sounds like we're neighbors. I live right down the road from it.

are people confusing prime beef ribs with prime rib?  is that what’s happening?

I was gnawing on one not 5 minutes ago.

[Sam Lin 3,550]

It's my favorite part of a standing rib roast, I usually skip the "steak" portion and just grab a couple of the ribs. Gnaw away, and then gift it to the nearest dog when done to become their best friend ever. If I'm cooking the roast, I score the membrane and meat on the underside between the ribs, and rub in some extra pepper because I like them that way.

Uh, have to agree with Futureman.  This thread is about beef ribs (a subset of which would be prime-quality beef ribs), not bone-in prime rib, Sam, Spur and Dr. Fear.

[BillyBadAss 189]

Well, they took longer than I expected, but turned out pretty good. Had them on for about 6hrs 45mins, temp average around 290.

Ribs look good. 

The meat seems a little denser than the beef ribs I've done - almost like meat from pork spare ribs.

[Beantown Express 2.0 6,559]

Is there a big difference between chuck sort ribs and plate short ribs?  Both are uncut but not sure if one will be better for the smoker or if they will be about the same.

[Jerry Callo 8,695]

I've only been able to find chuck short ribs (4 ribs per slab).  I've noticed a large vein of fat that runs diagonally across a couple of the ribs.  The fat is either trimmed or rendered during the cook - either way, you don't end up with four uniform ribs.  I have also noticed that the meat on the ribs is slightly different - almost like the difference between the flat and point of a brisket.  I'd like to find a couple slabs of plate ribs to see if they are more uniform across the slab in terms of distribution of fat and consistency of meat.

With that being said, Prime grade chuck ribs came out great on New Years.

Yes, the uncut ones are referred to as gentile.

Jk. Plate ribs have more fat content and the meat fibers are not as dense.

So what does that mean for flavor and texture if the meat fibers are more dense on a chuck rib and less fat?

Come on, Jim.  Give us a lesson on beef ribs.  My observations are from four slabs of chuck ribs - two slabs of select, two slabs of prime.  Obviously the prime had more marbling to begin with.  Are the plate ribs more uniform with texture and fat distribution?

The chuck ribs came out really tasty on my little Traeger.

I think the point vs flat analogy was decent. Flavor is meatier with less fat, more decadent with fat. Same with texture.

Meat looks awesome, but you could use a sharper knife...

Forgot to sharpen it and was too lazy to wash it off and sharpen it after I started carving but you are correct sir.

[futureman 22,440]

I was gonna ask if you took a hatchet to those things.  

[deft 6,833]

I also cut my meat with a rusty dull butter knife.

My opinion, which is worth roughly two pennies.

Chuck ribs are going be tighter and more like lean brisket with much less fat content. They’re also much less expensive than plates and have a higher yield.

I cook plates. Bc when done properly its like meat flavored butter on a bone. They are roughly twice the cost of chucks and yield about 30% less. Hence the $22/lb cost.

Did your dog get ahold of those?

bunch sous vide haters in here...fine, i will make a sous vide submission.

24 hours at 169.  shredded them (with only a fork, no knife) and used them for tacos.

[Jerry Callo 8,695]

I'd eat the hell out of those, if offered, and they look damn tasty.  But no way I'm cooking beef ribs for 24 hours to make pot roast tacos.
