Finally Got Around To The Creekstone Short Ribs

[ssv3]

Made it to the cabin which I hadn't been to in a while and fired up the Yoder



I only smoked a slab and this is what she looked like



Nothing but the finest on this fine cut of beef



I threw on a real meaty rack of baby back ribs also



BPS Sweet Money and went over it with a layer of BPS Cuckoo Racha



Let that baby sweat through



Made potato salad while the smoker was going



Oh there were wangs too



Color one the ribs was insane. The rub mixed with Cherry and Oak pellets helped for sure



Wangs were for snacking







Wangs went in last and of course came out first



Star of the show came off next



Man! They sure plumped up nice



Time for the taste test





Easily the best short ribs I've had. Packed with flavor and the aftertaste pleasantly lingering in your mouth where I didn't want to go to the second piece. All I can say is I've made short ribs before that I thought were insane but this blows it out of the water. Hands down the best so far.

Some pieces looked like brisket



Even burnt ends



Ribs were so moist that when I sliced them they burst juice on my shirt



Oh yeah!



This morning I made breakfast with the rib meats, sausage, sautéed onions and eggs topped with pickled carrots, jalapenos and sauce



We had some of the best out of MI and some whiskey the night before so it def hit the spot



Thanks for looking!

Cooks are looking as good as I remember.

You are making up for lost time. That is how you throwdown!

I will take good short ribs over brisket, and I know exactly how those tasted. Everything else, as always, was on point. Glad to see you putting that Yoder to use.

Oh I forgot to mention the brew selection. Come on man!

Most definitely good to see you back here.

Very nice! Not only do you know your meat, but you obviously know your good brew too! I bet that KBS waved down those short ribs quite nicely...

Man, I love the Yoder. It does a stellar job and def wasn't expecting it to perform this good since there is so much "negative press" on pellet smokers. Even the smoke flavor profile is on point for me plus it gives you a smoke ring. What else does a man want?

I'm with you on short ribs over brisket and I absolutely love brisket. This stuff was so good my buddy stopped eating and wouldn't shut up on how "ridicilous" this is.

Thanks DD!

You bet. We washed the beef down with KBS and CBS. KBS is much better IMHO.

So you are saying they were worth $7 a pound.

Every time I fire up the Yoder, I am impressed. I haven't tried food off of any other pellet cooker, so I don't know how they stack up, and probably will never find out. Unless someone else I know, buys a different brand.

I think the negatives, are from people use to a dirty fire. If you are use to TBS, the Yoder is certainly in the neighborhood. The lack of work, makes up for the difference for me.

My dad always taught me, the only unfair fight, is one where you didn't do everything you can to win. No such thing as cheating.

Fark yeah! $7 is actually a bargain considering they're black angus and prime even with some that contest short rib is a short rib is a short rib.

TBS is key and this cooker achieves it flawlessly. I agree with you on the dirty smoke some are used to?? Smoke profile is a bit subtle than my stick burner and I can live with that since I do 10% of the work. It's got to do with pellets too. There are a lot of chitty pellets out there. I've been using Lumberjack and very happy with them.

What type of LJ pellets have you taken a liking to?

Iv'e tried the big 3, LJ, Cooking Pellets, and BBQ Delight. LJ is cheaper, and in my opinion, far better than the others. I refuse to buy a pellet, that doesn't list their content on the bag. If it is a proprietary blend, they are hiding something.

Looking good Sako! How long did the Short Ribs take and what temperature did you smoke them at?
