Author : chef ssentongo Geoffrey

Here’s a step-by-step guide to making delicious smoked beef short ribs:

Ingredients

• 5-6 pounds of beef short ribs (4 long bones or 4-5 short bones)
• Olive oil
• Your favorite beef rub (salt, pepper, cayenne, oregano, chili powder, garlic powder)
• Mesquite wood chunks or your preferred wood chunks

Equipment

• Smoker or charcoal grill set up for indirect heat
• Charcoal
• Charcoal chimney
• Probe thermometer and/or instant-read thermometer
• Tongs
• Heavy-duty aluminum foil

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ribs:
   • Trim any excess fat and remove the membrane from the ribs.
   • Brush a thin layer of olive oil on all sides of the ribs.
   • Generously apply your beef rub on all sides of the ribs.
2. Preheat the Smoker:
   • Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).
   • Add mesquite wood chunks to the smoker for a nice smoky flavor.
3. Smoke the Ribs:
   • Place the ribs in the smoker, bone side down.
   • Smoke the ribs for about 3-4 hours, maintaining a consistent temperature of 225°F (107°C).
4. Wrap and Continue Smoking:
   • After 3-4 hours, wrap the ribs in heavy-duty aluminum foil.
   • Return the wrapped ribs to the smoker and continue cooking for another 2-3 hours.
5. Check for Doneness:
   • Use a probe thermometer to check the internal temperature of the ribs. They should reach about 204°F (96°C) for optimal tenderness.
   • The ribs should be tender and juicy, with the meat pulling away from the bone.
6. Rest the Ribs:
   • Remove the ribs from the smoker and let them rest in the foil for about 30-45 minutes.
7. Serve:
   • Unwrap the ribs and slice them between the bones.
   • Serve with your favorite barbecue sauce or enjoy them as they are!
