Short ribs allowed? Sometimes the ribeye full bones are hard to find here.

That is a great choice. I've only done the beef ribs once but I absofarkinglutely loved 'em & wanna do them again real soon. Maybe this week...

A bull is beef I believe, even in Spain.

As long as they are beef and they are ribs. Groundhog66 didn't specify a specific kind of beef rib. I would imagine bone-in is required though and a ribeye steak can't be turned in as a boneless rib chop.:becky:

I think you might have better luck finding an Australian Bull, but if it's cattle, it's beef.:thumb: Note however than not all domesticated ungulates or members of the subfamily bovinae are allowed, they must specifically be cattle, i.e. of the species Bos primigenius.

Not that it matters since I'm gonna be out of town, but can the ribs be from the beef Spamish Inquisition? :becky:

Hey Mongo, business trips are no excuse. I've traveled all but 8 weeks this year and still managed to get DQ'ed in all but the last 5 TDs. Are you already out of town? If not, why aren't you cooking beef ribs? :becky: Incidentally, Residence Inns have grills you can use.

Gore... Let me explain my business trip... I'm actually a professional Spam tracker. I'll be out in the wilds of Eastern Washington away from all means of communication and civilization tracking the ever elusive Great Northern Spotted Spam. A client that I'm not at the liberty to reveal has contracted my services for the next throwdown he has in mind and wants to get a jump on the competition. :heh:

well here we go.

i got some beef ribs after a decent search. i wanted to keep the cook simple, but with some good seasoning.

i started with 1 chunk of hickory and 1 peice of cherry smoke stix.

i gave the ribs a wash in woosty(i don't feel like going to the fridge:becky

a sprinkle of oakridge beef and pork. i then dusted with onion powder, kosher salt, and black pepper and let them sit for a few. here is before and after.

i got the "kettle" up to @ 250* and started the wood smoking. here is 2 hours in.

after a little over 3 hours i pulled them off. cut 1 bone out, gave 'em a glaze and back on. heres what i did with the 1 bone.

i pulled the rest off tented them to rest and heated up the beans. the ribs looked like this.

what did i glaze them with you ask?. well, i had a bottle of slabs, which is great on beef, and a jar of smoked brisket drippings. i mixed the two and brushed it on. i added a bit of brisket drippings to the beans as well.

i sliced the ribs, poured the beans over a bicuit and FEASTED. hope you enjoyed the story. here is my entry photo. :thumb:

Fanfarkingtastic. That looks great. You had me at the beans.

I went to Sam's today but all they had were short ends. So disappointing :tsk:

Chef Jim · Aug 20, 2011

Holy Cow, I love beef ribs. The rest of us will now have to meat your standard!

bigabyte · Aug 21, 2011

That is a killer first entry. I'm not sure if I'm going to find any good ribs, so I may have to cook some of those little bitty things the colonel saw at Sam's. Maybe serve them with some little bitty sides on a little bitty plate.
