Cherry Wood Beef Ribs
Plate-sized dinosaur beef ribs with a peppery crust and a kiss of fruit-wood smoke.
In the kitchen
Ingredients
- 1 rack 4-bone beef plate ribs
- 3 tbsp coarse salt
- 3 tbsp cracked pepper
- 1 tbsp granulated garlic
- Cherry wood chunks
- Yellow mustard binder
- Beef stock spritz
Method
Trim silver skin and rub the rack with mustard. Coat with salt, pepper, and garlic.
Smoke at 275 F over cherry wood for 7 to 9 hours, spritzing with beef stock every 90 minutes.
Probe between bones. They are ready when a thermometer slides like warm butter at about 205 F.
Rest 45 minutes loosely tented in foil, then slice between each bone.
