Planned on cooking beef ribs for Mother's Day. My wife loves beef rib tacos. Basically smoked beef rib cubes, avocado, picked onion and cilantro on a corn tortilla. The flavors fit perfectly and it is an excellent taco.
I usually buy my beef ribs from a local meat market. This is not exactly a place to buy fine grades of beef. Their customer base is basically lower economic types. They do have a wide selection, the people are super nice and they made some of the best sausage in the state. They also sell beef short ribs in 4 bone racks. The name of this market for Houston brethren is B&W meat market. The short ribs are good but not much marbelling. That is all I have ever cooked in terms of short ribs so that is where I planned to purchase for today.
I was running around town after a tennis match and stopped off at a local grill store(Texas,Star Grill shop) to kill time and look around. No plans to buy anything. As I was checking out(can't leave empty handed) I noted a fridge with some fine meats in it. In addition to some beautiful steaks they had akuashi beef ribs in cryo wrap. 8 bones total. Holiday weekend so wtf? In the cooler they go.
Still had to stop at B&W for some sausage so I picked up a single rack of their short ribs. 12 bones total for plenty of meals for the week.
Have both pits rolling at 250 with post oak and a litttle pecan
Ribs ready to go on, the two akuashi are on the right. Noticeable difference in marbling.
