Provided by Ben

Categories     Main Course

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 racks pork baby back ribs
3-4 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp onion powder
1 ½ tsp garlic pepper (optional)
1 ½ tsp lemon pepper
1 ½ tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp ground black pepper
2 tsp seasoning salt
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
¼ tsp cumin
¼ tsp thyme
½ cup packed brown sugar
½ tsp garlic powder
½ teaspoon grated orange rind

Steps:

  • Cover the ribs in a light coat of mustard. You can either cover all sides, or simply just the top meat side.
  • Combine the rub ingredients in a small bowl. Sprinkle half a cup of the rub evenly over the ribs. Use your hands to rub the mix into the mustard. Wrap the ribs in aluminum foil and place in the refrigerator either overnight, or a couple of hours before cooking.
  • Heat up your charcoal grill with the coals all at one end (otherwise known as 2-zone cooking, or indirect grilling). Aim to heat up your grill's ambient temperature to 225°F.
  • Place the ribs (still in aluminum foil) on the grill side without hot coals underneath it. Cover the grill and leave the ribs to cook for 90 minutes.
  • Remove the ribs from he grill and unwrap the foil. Apply the remaining rub mixture, and transfer the ribs back to the grill (don't re-wrap the ribs), over indirect heat again. Cover the grill and cook for 10 further minutes, turn the ribs over and then cook for 10 minutes more.
  • Remove from grill, wrap in aluminum foil and leave to rest for 10-20 minutes.
  • Unwrap foil and serve ribs with your choice of BBQ sauce and sides.

This recipe won 1st place in the 1996 Chilsolm Trail Roundup BBQ cookoff in Fort Worth, Texas. I usually use pork ribs but this works well for beef ribs too.. Baby backs really do not benefit from this cooking method.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Select high-quality beef ribs, such as beef back ribs or short ribs, with good marbling for optimal flavor and tenderness.
  • Properly trim the ribs: Remove excess fat and the tough membrane (silverskin) from the back of the ribs for better smoke penetration and a more enjoyable eating experience.
  • Season the ribs generously: Create a flavorful crust by applying a dry rub or marinade to the ribs, ensuring even coverage. Experiment with different spice blends to suit your taste preferences.
  • Smoke the ribs low and slow: Maintain a low temperature (225-250°F or 107-121°C) during smoking to allow the ribs to cook evenly and develop a deep, smoky flavor.
  • Monitor the internal temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the ribs reach an internal temperature of 203°F or 95°C for fall-off-the-bone tenderness.
  • Allow the ribs to rest: After cooking, let the ribs rest for about 30 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more succulent and flavorful rib.

Texas BBQ beef ribs are a smoky, flavorful, and tender delicacy that can be enjoyed at home with the right techniques and ingredients.
