Blue Smokes Beef Ribs Recipes

BBQ BEEF RIBS

Steps:

• Prepare the grill for indirect heat using hickory and charcoal and heat to 250 degrees F.
• Place the ribs on a clean cutting board and pull off the membrane, the thin fatty skin that lines the underside of the ribs. Trim the ribs of excess fat and meat.
• For the rub: Whisk together 2 tablespoons salt, brown sugar, paprika, chile powder, cumin and pepper. Rub the beef ribs with the seasoning and place on a sheet tray, cover with plastic wrap, and if time, let marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
• For the glaze: Add the maple syrup, apple juice, brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, chile powder, cayenne, salt and pepper to a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook until syrupy, about 8 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon on occasion.
• Remove the ribs from the refrigerator. Place the ribs meatier-side-down on the grill away from the coals. Cook the beef 3 hours, adding more coals as needed. Turn and cook until the ribs "bend" and the meat easily separates from the bone using a fork, about 45 minutes more. Brush on the glaze to the ribs and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove and slice into individual ribs.

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!

TEXAS BBQ BEEF RIBS

Steps:

• Pour wood chips into the hopper of a pellet grill according to manufacturer's instructions. Set temperature to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
• Trim ribs with a sharp knife to remove as much fat and silver skin from the top of the ribs as possible. Leave the membrane on the bottom of each rack as this will help hold them together as they cook.
• Place steak seasoning in a coffee grinder or food chopper. Grind to a medium coarseness to reduce the size of the salt crystals. Transfer to a shaker bottle. Add chili powder and garlic powder and shake until evenly combined.
• Rub 1/2 of the Worcestershire sauce on the bottom of the ribs as a binder, then sprinkle on a medium to heavy coat of the rub mixture. Flip ribs and repeat on the meaty side. Spritz a light coat of apple juice over top to help it "sweat."
• Immediately place ribs on the preheated pellet grill with the thicker side of the ribs towards the main heat source (toward the back, opposite the lid).
• Smoke ribs, spritzing them with a light coat of apple juice every 30 minutes to keep moist, until the internal meat temperature reaches 198 to 203 degrees F (92 to 95 degrees C), 4 to 6 hours. If it is taking longer don't be afraid to raise the heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) but just watch the internal temperature a little closer, as the window of being done is smaller due to the higher cooking temperature. The temperature probe should slide into the meat like a brisket or like butter when they are ready.
• Remove ribs from the grill and place on a large cutting board. Slice into individual ribs to serve, or remove the meat and place on a tray to serve.
