I have lived most of my life in pork country (North
Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee), so naturally I am drawn to pork when it comes
to BBQ. In fact, the only time I
remember having a BBQ beef rib was in Atlanta about 25 or 30 years ago at a
Texas Style BBQ restaurant off Roswell Rd in Buckhead, just north of Paces Ferry. It was fatty and tough. All these years, I thought beef ribs were fatty and tough, so I avoided them.
Then last week, I was looking for something to watch and came across BBQ with Franklin on one of the streaming services. I decided I needed to give beef another chance.

So, I went to the butcher and bought a chuck short rib plate. Seasoned it with salt pepper and Dizzy Pig Red Eye Express and ……OMG!!! These things were awesome!!! Everyone who tried them was amazed.
I have no idea if they were cooked properly by Texas standards, but they were awesome by my standards.
My next rib cook will be beef.
My sincere apology to the state of Texas. I have now seen the light. (I live in Memphis, so please do not tell my neighbors)

I have resently discovered a butcher shop the carries these. I too am in Lexington BBQ country. But these are KILLER!
Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

The grape flavor adds subtle notes to the beefiness of the ribs. Plus, if anyone has developed the feared meat allergy...GrateEggspectations said:So do you just crush the Claritin on top for extra kick?Jefferson, GA

Beef ribs are a treat.Coleman, Texas
Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...

You did good. To me beef ribs are better than brisket and a lot more predictable to have a home run. Very nice job!-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini. Henderson, Ky.

Haha - I didn't notice the Claritin - they are for the dog and stay on the kitchen counter so we remember her medicinejeffwit said:The grape flavor adds subtle notes to the beefiness of the ribs. Plus, if anyone has developed the feared meat allergy...Memphis, TN

@mEGG_My_Day - you can definitely share your experiences around here. You have way more run time than most of us here. We are all looking to up our game although there are random threads that head down a dirt road. Again glad you are here.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.

Welcome aboard, from a guy who lived in Memphis for 6 years but has now been in Texas for 21. BBQ is not limited to pork. Beef is great, too.
Is Cozy Corner still in business? And still good?XXL BGE, Karebecue, Klose BYC, Chargiller Akorn Kamado, Weber Smokey Mountain, Grand Turbo gasser, Weber Smoky Joe, and the wheelbarrow that my grandfather used to cook steaks from his cattle

Thx - Cozy corner burned down two or three years ago - they did rebuild and reopened sometime in the last year. I have not been since they reopened, but was still very good prior to the fire.Foghorn said:Welcome aboard, from a guy who lived in Memphis for 6 years but has now been in Texas for 21.

This Texan approves!!

Thanks. I always enjoyed going there, even if I didn't make it by very often. The owners knew that neighborhood wasn't safe after dark so they closed "30 minutes before sundown" as I recall.mEGG_My_Day said:Thx - Cozy corner burned down two or three years ago - they did rebuild and reopened sometime in the last year.

Beef Ribs are the VERY BEST that can come off an Egg.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). Just given a Mini to add to the herd.

Where in Memphis are you?
Always good to find locals on the internet.
I was just discussing with friends about trying beef ribs as my next cook.Memphis TN - Large Green Egg -
I'm in midtown - Central Gardens to be exact - definitely try the ribs.kwdickert said:
I may have been lucky, but they weren't too difficult. Apply rub and let sit on counter while getting the egg going and stable at about 280 with an indirect setup. I used one hunk of maple - because that's what I had on hand.
Occasionally spritzed with diluted apple cider vinegar. Went about 6.5 hours till they probed buttery (205 to 210 internal, depending where I probed). Pulled from egg and wrapped in foil till time to eat - about one hour. Done!!
FYI - (this is not a solicitation or an endorsement, just info) I couldn't find short rib plates at our local grocery stores. I found these at Charley's Meat Market on Summer.
