Bachelor Weekend: First Try at Beef Ribs

edited July 2016 in EggHead Forum
My wife and Daughter are away this weekend so I thought I'd give Beef Ribs a go for the first time. My wife picked up Chuck Short Ribs at the local this week. These were already pre-cut but still looked good. I used some leftover Oakridge Brisket Rub along with some Crucible Ghost Pepper rub (hey...its just me!)



I set up the Egg with a couple pieces of Oak along with some Mesquite pieces at 250F. 



Since ge it was a free weekend I decided to put on the PGA and go at the Growler of Train of Thought Hoppy Amber we picked up at the New York Beer Project (Lockport, NY). Not a bad way to wait!



The ribs were on 2 1/2 hours uncovered before I threw them in a pan with a little bit of beer (Fat Tire) and Worcestershire. 

When the the temp got to 195 (another 1 hr) on the biggest piece I probed it and it felt done so I pulled them off. 

I took the the juice left in the pan and reduced it to pour over the ribs. I served with Mac'n'Cheese (Cracker Barrel Box kind...sorry). 



These tasted fantastic but I could tell they still had some time on the Egg that could have been added (maybe another 45 min to 1 hr). They weren't tough but not falling apart either. Live and learn right?

It was still a great day/great cook!

    Great cook and congrats on the independent operations.
    I find that the key to success with any rib cook is when they probe tender with a toothpick, regardless of the originating species.  FWIW-

    @milesvdustin - I really like the Crucible Rub.  I put 1 part Crucible to 3 parts Black Ops and it was a good level of spice for me (without being ridiculous).

    @lousubcap - Appreciate the tip and I agree.  Being 'hungry' at the time didn't help the decision making process either.
