Texas Beef Ribs
Ingredients
- I rack beef ribs
The Rub
- 2 tbsp. paprika
- 1 tbsp. garlic powder
- 1 tbsp. onion powder
- 2 tbsp. chili powder
- 1 tbsp. salt
- 1 tbsp. cayenne pepper
- 1 tbsp. black pepper
- 1 tbsp. dark brown sugar optional
- 1 tbsp. cumin
- 2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 tsp. oregano dried
- 2 tsp. thyme (dried)
Instructions
Prep the smoker/Grill
The Rub & ribs
- Trim any loose excess meat off the ribs.
- Cut the ribs into pairs, so you can get more smoke and colour on them.
- Mix all of the rub ingredients in a bowl.
- Rubs the ribs with the mixture.
The Smoker/Grill
- Place your water pan on one side of your grill and fill with water.
- Pour your coals on the other side. You will need a row of hot and then cold coals, so you get a slow and steady burn.
- When the hot coals are good and hot, lay 2-3 dry pieces oak or hickory down the line of the hot and cold coals to ensure that you get a steady slow burn of smoke for the first few hours.
- Get this going for a while. The smoke may bellow white at the beginning. You don’t want that getting on your meat.
The Smoking
- Place the ribs above the water tray and smoke at 225° F until the internal temperature reaches 203° F. This can anything from 6-10 hours depending on how thick they are.
- You shouldn’t need to add anymore wood. They will only absorb the smoke for the first few hours of smoking anyway.
- Serve with you favourite sides.
