First beef ribs

[BigFish]

Come on now...Brontosaurus Ribs. I finally found them. Don't laugh, I'm in Florida and hard to get. USDA Choice Black Angus Beef Ribs - Fresh, never frozen. Going in the RT-590 this weekend with just salt, pepper, and a beef injection.

Any pointers, temps, method?

Never smoked them before. Let us know how you did it and how they came out. They sure look good.

Best piece of smoked meat IMHO. My suggestion would be to skip the injection. This cut of meat has a LOT of marbling and really good beef flavor so doesn’t need the added liquid. Just my two cents.

Tried them for the first time last weekend. 5-6 hours at 225 until they were about 185 internally. Wrapped in butcher paper for the last hour at 275 and let them sit for an hour afterward. Rub was salt, pepper, and paprika (maybe a little cumin?). No injection. Came out great. Super easy.

I agree on skipping the injection. I've done a bunch of beef ribs and they came out amazing with Rectecs Joe coffee Rub....although discontinued. I've even did some marinated in teriyaki, then smoked and finished them off with a Mongolian beef sauce and it was awesome as well.

Tips:
- Don't remove membrane
- No need to wrap
- Cook @225° to internal of 200°

They came out great. I used Everglades seasoning and no injection. They were a hit and came out perfect. I even found a supplier @$3.99 lb.

I paid $7.99lb for these at Sam's Club (which is a good price). They never have them when you go in and shop. I ordered online and picked them up curbside the next day. I shop at Restaurant Depot under my Brother's account. Top quality and their prices can't be beat.

You need a bud with a business license. I used my little Brother who owns a few restaurants.

Yeah.. I used to a few years ago. Might be worth firing up another LLC just to get into my local joint .

How long does it usually take?

According to Restaurant Depot’s website if you don’t qualify for a membership you can get a day pass. Has anyone done this? Are the prices just higher?
