Bull Beef short ribs on the bull!

[Jgravener1]

I managed to find some short ribs for a decent price for the meat market right now. I followed mad scientist bbq. Only change was I lowered temps. Did 225 for first 4 hours. Bumped to 250 and sprayed every hour. Wrapped once at 190 and pulled at 200 rest for half hour. Total time of 8.5 hours. So far this was my favorite bbq item. Absolutely tasty

They look amazing! I'm always leery to try beef ribs; I grew up on Pork Ribs in GA and now I'm in Texas where beef is preferred.

@ChrisN thanks alot! I love pork ribs too I just heard Texas style beef ribs are great I gave it a shot and I was not disappointed. I would highly recommend

Those look fantastic! Love beef ribs when I get the chance to cook them. Great job and thanks for sharing!

Beef ribs are probably my favorite bbq item. Hard to find in my area. Costco has them every now and then but usually I need to get them from an online vendor. So good. In fact I just remembered I have a rack in the freezer! Need to get those out. Thanks for the inspiration.

My Costco only has boneless beef ribs, or Korean cut ribs (cross cut)

@jfrosty27 glad I could be some inspiration lol luckily I live in pa Lancaster area. There are loads of butchers out this way. Happy smoking!

Those came out great!

The two times I did them, were both great. I got mine at Restaurant Depot. Had to buy two racks.

You should be able to ask if they will sell you some "un-cut". It might take a little explaining, but they will often do that. (ours used to, but then they stopped carrying them altogether) There are a few other stores near us that carry them, but I am also curious to try Wild Fork Foods online.

I did ask, they weren’t willing.

 

[jfrosty27]

My most recent purchase was from Wild Fork. Prime grade, 3 bone plate rib racks. One still in the freezer. The rack I cooked was amazing. Actually I will say it was the best I have ever had here at home. Their product has all been excellent so far. In fact I just finished trimming and salting a prime brisket from them a few minutes ago to go on the Bull tomorrow night.

Well, that stinks.

I’ll try the local Restaurant Depot next. I have to setup the account, so I’ve been dragging my feet on it.

Did the ribs come prepped from wild fork? This slab had some decent fat on it I had to trim up. Another butcher I called wanted 13.99 a pound but they came prepped. To me that's taking some of the fun out of it though

No, not fully prepped. Some light trimming still required. But light. They were really meaty. AND delish.

Beautiful! Looks great. I may have to try that place out. Thanks for your input

I looked at WF, but I'll be honest....I am not paying those kinds of prices. Not when I can get grass fed beef here much cheaper, and drive away with it in my hand.

You make a solid point. I guess it just takes some patience to find the right butcher

I hear you. I have tried to find a butcher in the area to provide these. They would need special order and prices are higher than WF. AND usually only choice grade offered. So I wait patiently for a sale somewhere and then pounce.
