My better half went Christmas shopping tonight, so I was on my own for dinner. That means meat and potatoes to me, but I decided to give it a little twist.

Beef Short Ribs

I mixed up a marinade of soy sauce, Worcestershire Sauce, red wine vinegar and spice rub. Into the refrigerator for about 3 hours.

When I took them out, they got a heavy shake of my favorite spice rub and onto the Mini UDS at 265*

While the ribs were cooking, I peeled some sweet potatoes and ran them through my handy dandy freedom fry cutter.

Par fried them at 300* for about 15 minutes.

I drained them then hit them with some flour and Tony Cachere's Extra Spicy Cajun Seasoning. Next, I fried them again at 375* for about 5 minutes 'til they got nice and crispy.

When the internal temp on the ribs hit 185* I took them off. They were so tender and juicy, I only wish I had someone to share them with. Oh well, her loss!

I have, and they are delicious that way! This time I was going for savory with a little heat to compliment the spicy ribs.

Fabulous! I usually like the cinnamon on the fries myself, but salt is good too. With those ribs there I wouldn't be eating any fries anyway.

Thanks Garyclaw! That little machine sure can cook, and it's so easy to use! It has convinced me that it's time to join the growing ranks of UDS owners. I'll build a full sized one this winter for sure!

OK Mr. Bob. You've just about convinced me to try short ribs again. I seem to have a curse about cooking them but I haven't tried since getting a smoker. Those look perfect!
