Beef Back Ribs

Have I told you that this girl can grill? Well, she can and I never cease to amaze myself with my grilling skills. I was at the butcher and saw that they had some awesome beef back ribs. I repeat, beef back ribs, not dino ribs/full plate short ribs - beef back ribs! Ok, I think you got it now. Beef back ribs are basically the ribs on a bone in prime rib, they have just been cut off and are delicious on their own.

I always use the same slow and low method for cooking ribs, but I decided to try a new method with a higher temp to see if I could get these done in a reasonable amount of time for a weeknight meal. The method worked and they were just as juicy and tender as if i had cooked them low and slow. I will definitely be keeping this in my arsenal for further use since it proved you don't have to set aside an entire day for amazing bbq.

Beef Back Ribds
Makes 1 slab

Ingredients:

• 1 slab beef back ribs membrane removed as much as possible
• Your favorite bbq rub
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons apple juice
• 3 tablespoons of your favorite bbq sauce

How to make Beef Back Smoked Ribs:

1. The night before you cook the ribs, remove them from the refrigerator , remove the membrane, and rub them with your favorite bbq rub, salt and pepper, oil. Be generous with the seasoning. Cover and refrigerate overnight. 
2. 1 hour prior to smoking your ribs, remove them from the refrigerator and let sit. Soak your smoking wood in water or apple juice at this time as well.
3. Set your grill up for indirect smoking at 325 degrees. Place your seasoned ribs directly on the grill and let smoke for 1 hour and 15 minutes.  
4. Remove the ribs from the smoker and wrap in tinfoil. Just before you close the ribs up, pour your apple juice in the tinfoil packet. Place back on the smoker and continue to cook for one hour and 15 minutes. 
5. Remove from the smoker and remove from the tinfoil. Pour the juice from the tinfoil into your bbq sauce and stir to combine. 
6. Place the ribs on the grill bone side down and brush a light layer of the bbq sauce mixture on the ribs.Cook for 10-15 additional minutes until a nice crust forms. 
7. Remove from the grill and let rest for 10 minutes before cutting into them. 

These ribs are so tender and just fall right off the bone. As you can see from the pictures below they really pull right off the bone.

All seasoned up and ready to go on the grill. 

The first hour and fifteen minutes. 

Right before tehe bbq sauce went on. 

And they are done!

I hope you enjoy this awesome method for getting amazing beef back ribs!

Enjoy!
