Plate ribs

Options
Threw on a couple racks of beef plate ribs. Played around with the seasoning a bit. Lea and Perrins splashed all over, light coat of Butchers private selection followed by another light dusting of dirty bird hot and a heavy coat of cow cover, finally I sprinkled some Suckle Busters 1836 all over. The 1836 has some heat and is a much coarser grind than all the others. We shall see. Four chunks of oak over my Rockwood. Gonna wrap after about 3-4 hours I’d say.

    I think the second rack was just a better product from the jump.

    Yeah, that’s the guide points. I like to make sure you get a decent bark on them. I’ve wrapped with foil, butcher paper, and in a pan covered with foil. The bark will soften due to the wrap, but as long as you had it set good before the wrap, it will survive ok by my standards. If you have to run over 160 to get a good bark, do so. That’s not uncommon when cooking on an Egg due to the moist environment. They will probe like butter when done. 200-207. Good eats! Enjoy!

    I see I used Leah and Perrins on these but I have also used hot sauce as a binder and it’s also fabulous. The heat dissipates but, and this could be my imagination, you get some flavor on the base layer.

    Love beef ribs!  I like them personally, because they are much more forgiving then brisket.  My goal is always for my brisket to equal beef ribs (has never happened for me).  Only problem is they are hard to find in stores around here.

    Wrapping mandatory? What about trimming anything off? I don’t wrap briskets. Just trying not to mess this up. Thanks for your help

    Not at all. Let her ride. The wrap just helps tenderize them but you should get there just fine either way. I feel that the wrap widens your window for success. It doesn’t mean you can only succeed with a wrap method.

    I rarely see them out, but the butchers sometimes have them in cryovac 2 packs in the back. They either cut them up into pieces or use them for other things. I ask the store butcher and have had about 50% success. I know it could be regional.
