Labeled: Beef Chuck Ribs Bone-In Whole Dinosaur Bones

They told me they were beef plate short ribs. They didn’t have any left that we’re not cut into single ribs.

#1) Did I get put together? Are these real plate ribs?

#2) Will it be ok to smoke them individually like I bought them?

Those look like Beef Chuck Ribs to me. The IMPS number for the original cut, which is a four-bone rack, is #130. These ribs are cut from the area just above the brisket, and are bones #'s 2,3,4, and 5. Many people prefer to cook ribs of this type as individual cuts, as it can produce more bark.


The beef ribs known as the 'Dino Ribs' are actually Beef Plate Short Ribs, IMPS #123A, and are originally cut as a three-bone rack, from just below the rib-eyes. They are cut from bone #'s 6,7, and 8.



Your ribs look like the beginning of a delicious meal.

So, I just cook them the same way as I would the plate ribs? Also, will they be as good as plate short ribs?

Tender and flavorful?

[Mattb82]

Those look great, going to cook faster than normal though individual like that

[Borncoog74]

Also, I own a Pitmaker Vault, which is an insulated cabinet smoker. The smoke in the chamber flows from top to bottom.

Should I place them in bones up or bones down?

[Rockinar]

They are not actually the "dinosaur ribs" as IXL mentioned. They will still be really good though. Just cook them bone down 250/275 till probe tender.

Those are twice as long as the ones I can get at HEB. They cook just fine cut up.

They might have them in the back. Have to buy 2 as they come that way to the store.

Awesome marbling.

[BillN]

Those ribs look great, if I had those they would get some salt and pepper then go on the smoker at 275ish for about 4 hours or so (probe tender).

[I_H_R]

They're going to be great! Probe tender like everyone said. Wish I could find beef ribs like that more easily around here! Enjoy!!!

Nice Looking forward to seeing these cooked

Just to be different...Sous Vide at 165 for 24hrs. Let cool a bit, coat with rub then under a broiler for 5 minutes. Absolutely fall apart tender and juicy. I have struggled to get good short rib results on the smoker (granted only tried a handful of times) but the SV route is pretty foolproof and works well on the individual bones.

Marbling on those is nice! Too bad you didn't smoke them, but let us see pics of your sous vide results.

But as a Texan I just died a little inside. :heh:

Oh, I am definitely smoking these! I just finished removing the bottom membrane, trimming them up, and putting coarse salt on them. I will put the coarse pepper, and a light dash of another rub before throwing them on tomorrow.

Thanks for all of the recommendations gentlemen.
