Mmmm beef back ribs
Tonight I came across a rack 2.5 pounds nice and thick. Started the egg with about 4 mesquite chunks and let it settle in to about 300 (dome indirect) because it was getting late and I new I didn't have all night to wait on dinner. Rubbed with sea salt, fresh ground black pepper, garlic powder and onion powder while the egg came up to temp/stabilized. Just over three hours and about a dozen Sams octoberfests this is the results. No spritzing no wrapping just set it and forget it. The simple joys of BBQ. Sorry no before pics I wasn't thinking about posting.
And they actually had a solid smoke ring something very hit or miss especially on beef for me.

I agree, beef ribs are under appreciated. Unfortunately, where I live, they tend to be over trimmed. And when they do show up w. lots of meat, the price is much higher. But then they are so good, I'll grab them, and save 'em for a special meal.

Hey UT, from SLC here. Is the store you find good beef ribs at a chain that might also have a location up North?
-
Those look great! The last rack I bought didn't have enough meat.

Smiths (I think its a kroger brand like king supers) is actually where I get them. Harmon's may have them I don't go there often though except for some aged ribeyeMikeG said:Hey UT, from SLC here. Is the store you find good beef ribs at a chain that might also have a location up North?

Thanks. I shop at harmons but they are usually no good for beef ribs. I'll check out Smith's.

Note to self. Pick up beef ribs.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

I don' tthink they are under rated, I think that most places just trim the hell out of them to the point that they aren't worth cooking. I'd do them all the time if they didn't look like they came from anoerixic cows. Yours look spot on. Good job.

I definitely agree on that most I see out there look better suited to make stock with than to actually attempt to eat.Griffin said:I don' tthink they are under rated, I think that most places just trim the hell out of them to the point that they aren't worth cooking.

Those look fantastic, great job.
Depending on where you live, I've seen some Excel branded beef ribs frozen in Safeway/Tom Thumb stores. They are in the Excel, packer film still so they should be pretty meaty, haven't been further processed by anyone. Excel is Cargill by the way. There will be a USDA establishment number on these films. As long as it doesn't read 86E or 86H you should be good. Those are their West Texas plants. Those plants are still trying to recover from the drought from a couple years back so their animals aren't getting beefed up as much as the midwest animals. Therefore the ribs may not be as meaty as you want.

Any meat can be great when done correctly. Good job with these, they do look good and meaty. I normally don't do beef ribs because, like others have said, are normally too trimmed down.

I saw these in my Local Publix and I thought I would give them a try. It was like $7 for 4 ribs. Mine were not as meaty as U_tarted's but I thought there was enough meat mixed with the fat to make them worth the effort. I really enjoyed them. Even though they are cut close to the bone, there is a good amount of meat between the bones. One rib was plenty for an adult (so I ate two).Wish I had a better pic! This is actually one of the less meaty ribs but the only pic that came out halfway decent (h8 iphone camera!).Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.
