OT: Smoking question

[garndawg]

OK experts and gents, a distraction from small ball and TSUN news...

I've just had a cow delivered and am once again in beef up to my ears. I've got a pretty good idea about cooking everything, except...

Beef. Short. Ribs.

I've _never_ been able to make these to my satisfaction. Never.

I'm going to smoke these, using my trusty Masterbuilt Deluxe Electric (Screw you BGE dudes! I ain't got that kind of time...) and I'm fresh outta Dales.

Suggestions?

Here's some solid advice on beef ribs that might work for short ribs too. I'm yet to cook beef ribs, but it's on my summer list of things to do.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Don't smoke them. Braise them. In red wine.

remove that membrane off of the thin side, cover in your favorite rub, then smoke at 225 for 6-7 hours.

You had a whole cow delivered to your front door? Are you Jed Clampet?

^^^THIS^^^

Short ribs braised in red wine is one of the best dishes an "average" cook can make.

Yeah either low and slow or braise them.

I watched this the other night. It looked good to me. I can't, unless someone has some tips, sear something then smoke on a BGE though.

Agree with the others. Braise them. Salt Pepper, them sear them in cast iron. Take them out n set aside. Sautee some onions, carrots, bell pepper and fine minced Jalapenos and Garlic for a couple minutes. Add in some sliced Mushrooms, the ribs, a bottle of decent red wine and them enough beef broth to cover. Cook at 300 degrees til tender. OH and serve on top a Rissotto. Some dang fine eats there

This is how you justify to the wife the need for more than one BGE. Besides, it's bad for the environment to fire the XL just to grill a steak for the two of you. Explain to her that you just can't cook for her entire family on the MED BGE. Do something nice for yourself, you deserve it.

If that pic is how yours are cut, then braise them. There are a lot of good recipes on teh interwebs. Do not smoke those.

 

[RocketDawg]

Was it a cow or a steer?

 

[HD6]

I'd do this.

 

[ShrubDog]

Dr. Pepper ribs.

You are welcome.

 

[57stratdawg]

That's the smartest thing I've ever read..

 

[aTotal360]

Damn it boy. I shouldn't have watched that. Now I'm starving.

 

[121Josey]

That's not fair.

 

[patdog]

That's pretty similar to how I cook sirloin tips. And yeah, it's pretty awesome.
