Beef ribs

[Buzzrock 15136]

Did those short bones once. Never again. Better for braising.

Este. Not cooking to temp, cooking to feel. When they're tender, they're ready.

So the consensus seems to be that the plate ribs (dino?) do better on the smoker than short ribs?  I'm hoping to try some soon.

Plate ribs are short ribs.  Chuck ribs are also short ribs.  I prefer plate, but you can make tasty bbq out of the chuck ribs too.

The ones that are not short ribs, are back ribs.  I don't bother with doing those on the smoker but some folks do.

OK, is the consensus that the longer cuts do better than the shorter cuts?  Correct my verbiage if need be, the only beef rib cut I've smoked is prime rib.

Yeah I think plate ribs smoke up better than chuck ribs, and both are far superior to back ribs which are much smaller and have a lot less meat on them.

Don’t sell the back ribs short, imo. They’re cheap and still smoke up nicely.

Chuck short ribs are what I mostly do. A plate is usually 3 or 4 ribs and in the $30-40 range. Back ribs are maybe half as much cost for a rack of 7 or so ribs that has roughly a similar amount of meat overall

Those Dino ribs are probably $75-100 I’m guessing? Maybe 20% more meat than the Chuck plate, but superior quality.

[Lurch 5949]

Chuck ribs are often sold separated and then cut in half. I’ve not tried smoking them when they’ve been prepped like that, but my guess is they’d cook too quickly for the smoke to set in.

In my Publix, I have to hunt down the butcher and ask for an uncut plate if he has any

Honestly if I can do it anyone can do it. Trim them up a little, s&p, cook til done. Sometimes that’s a lot longer than you expect. I follow the Franklin videos on YouTube.

I think I'm pulling the too early. maybe the alcohol is rushing me. 3 times and 3 strikes. I'll try again soon. Thanks for the tips

Fuck! Dont take HEB for granted, Texans. What passes for groceries here is absolute trash by comparison

Be patient and wait for probe tender. Wrap if you want to help it. Insert your dick in a tub of peanut butter to get an idea of the proper probing perception.

Smoked pastrami beef ribs yesterday. Even after a 14 day cure there was still a spot in the center that wasn't pink, think i should have flipped them over in the brine at some point. Absolutely delicious nonetheless.

Do you smoke the plate whole or separate before smoking?  I'm in uncharted waters here.  Feels like it should be smoked whole.

[Lurch 5949]

Whole with very minimal trimming

[blacklab 12062]

leave whole

keep temp around 250-300

usually takes 5-7 hours, once it hits 185 or so start probing with fork.

Once it slides through easily take off heat and rest for 30 minutes. I usually put on pan in oven, mainly to prevent dogs from jumping on counter and stealing it.

How many ribs in a 6-lb-ish plate?  3?

[blacklab 12062]

Plate ribs usually come in three-bone sections (since the entire plate consists of 6 ribs).  Chuck ribs often are found cut into four-bone sections.  Both are huge and delicious.

My son picked up a used Oklahoma Joe barrel smoker from a coworker.  He had decided to give stick smoking a whirl after we gave him Aaron Franklin’s cookbook.  He took it full authentic bore by ordering a pallet of post oak from an online Texas supplier.

 

 

 

 

Think he done good.

Hell yeah. I need to do these again soon.

I bought some beef short ribs from a local butcher, can I smoke those the same as a would the dino ribs?

They were the 2nd plate from a pack I bought back in June. 
the first plate that I cooked in June was about 4.3 lbs. this one was 5.3

$7.69/lb

[Cajun 11772]

Chuck plate I did this weekend.  Great flavor, but that cut is too lean.  I couldn’t resist because they were $3.99/lb at Wally World in Devine…

[Sam Lin 3597]

Haven't found dino ribs in quite a while, then saw galbi sliced ones at Sam's Club, asked butcher if they sliced on-site, and YES! So asked him to grab me a whole cryopack before slicing. Stoked to have a local source. $9 a pound. That pack came out just under 100 - a steal compared to ordering beef rib at a restaurant.

From this:

To this:

Yes it was as good as it looks. Holy hell I'm still thinking about them days later.

 

Few process pics in spoiler:

Trim silverskin on top pretty aggressively. Rub with mustard base and then salt pepper garlic.

Smoke on kamado Big Joe, also a brisket boated above:

Boated the ribs halfway in. Put on a ring of pork steaks under to use the hot region around the deflector plates:

Will be ready to slice before the big game. Serving with black-eyed peas and cabbage sautéed in bacon grease.

gotta post the money shot

[Braff Zacklin 13676]

[PantsTent 2003]

Neg away for no money shot.  In all honesty, it was falling off the bone when I went to slice it.  Maybe I went a little too long but it was pure meat candy either way.
