Smoking beef short ribs is a delicious endeavor! Here’s a basic recipe you can follow:
Ingredients:
· 4 lbs beef short ribs
· 2 tbsp olive oil
· Salt and pepper to taste
· 1 tbsp garlic powder
· 1 tbsp onion powder
· 1 tbsp paprika
· 1 tbsp brown sugar
· BBQ sauce (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
1.Prepare the Ribs:
· Trim any excess fat from the ribs, leaving a thin layer for flavor.
2.Season the Ribs:
· Rub the ribs with olive oil, then season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and brown sugar. Ensure the ribs are evenly coated.
3.Prepare the Smoker:
· Preheat your smoker to 225-250°F (110-120°C). Use hardwood chips like oak, hickory, or apple for smoke flavor.
4.Smoke the Ribs:
· Place the seasoned ribs directly on the smoker grate, bone side down. Close the smoker lid and let them smoke for about 5-6 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches about 200°F (93°C) and the meat is tender.
5.Check and Maintain:
· Every hour or so, check the smoker temperature and add more wood chips if needed to maintain a steady smoke.
6.Rest and Serve:
Once done, remove the ribs from the smoker and let them rest for about 15-20 minutes. Optionally, brush them with BBQ sauce before serving for extra flavor.
7.Serve:
Slice the ribs between the bones and serve hot. They pair wonderfully with coleslaw, cornbread, or grilled vegetables.
Enjoy your smoked beef short ribs!
