Jaccard and boneless short ribs
Hi All,
I have smoked boneless short ribs(usually about 4-5 hours) many times. I always get great flavor but they are usually tough. Has anyone used a jaccard meat tenderizer on meat they have smoked for a long time? I want to treat the ribs almost like a brisket and wait till the internal temperature reaches 203 deg. I usually get impatient around 180 deg.

I have never used a Jaccard for boneless short ribs, but then I've done boneless short ribs once on the grill, they were way to chewy. Braising has been the cooking method of choice, tender lots of taste.I have used a Jaccard on a large eye of round that was smoked at 225-250 for a couple of hours and it was very good, nice smoke ring and the Jaccard changed the texture quite a bit, quite tender.If the chewyness of ribs is caused by silver tissue, I'm not sure Jaccarding would make a huge difference. If it is caused by muscle tissue, I think the Jaccard might help.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

SteveThis tenet is the most important teaching about the BGE.Let the ribs come to you, grasshopper. They will fold when ready, not when you want to fold them. -
I'm with skiddy on this - braise them. I do them sous vide then sear them on the grill. If you can find veal short ribs, they'll probably low and slow on the grill fine.
If you can get a slow cooker to hold 140-170F, you can seal them up (no air) in a bag or foodsaver and do a ghetto sous vide - 24 hours at 170 or 48-72 hours at 140F. Take them out of the bag and sear on the grill. They'll melt in your mouth.
