Help with odd cut of beef plate ribs

GrateEggspectations

So, long story short, I was at a (non-local) butcher and asked for beef plate ribs for smoking. Butcher went to the back, cut them, wrapped them, and then I paid ($26CAD) and went home.

When I got home, I unwrapped them to find three thin (1" thick) sections cut through (and along) the bone (almost like a lengthwise version of Korean cut.

In hindsight, I likely should have explained how I wanted them cut and accordingly, don't hold it against the butcher. Is it worth trying to smoke these? If so, what is the suggested technique? My main concern is them drying out in light of the thickness (or lack thereof). The alternative is that I could cut it up and use it as really nice stewing beef(?).

You can smoke anything.

I'd smoke 'em until you get a bit of bark, then wrap in paper and continue on until tender.

Patience my friend. Let's see how astute some of the Beef Gods are first.

I'm so embarrassed. And here I thought no one would see that naked reflection of me in that droplet of condensation. (My apologies.)

Don't feel bad my friend. I'm usually naked myself when I'm on the forum

I think @SGH is waiting to for someone to say those are beef shoulder blade steaks.

Or 7 bone, or chuck blade or something.

Or a rib steak

they look like ribeye steaks to me

DMW

Yeah, I think those are bone-in ribeyes. He cut them from a rib roast.

So.... Any suggestions as to what I should do with them?

If they are indeed rib steaks, (aka bone in ribeyes) cook em hot and fast like any other steak. Season with salt and pepper.

plus 26$ CAN seems expensive for beef ribs but about the right price for ribeye steaks. But hey, I'm just an American. Everything is more expensive in Canada, right? 

Filipino kid: You are American?

Tourist: No, I'm a Canadian. It's like an American, but without the gun

I really thought the line was 'you can milk anything with nipples'
