Ingredients

Instructions

  • Trim the fat off the meat side until you can see the marbling of the beef
  • Leave the bone side alone as you want the membrane in place to hold the ribs together
  • Slather with hot sauce (or mustard) as a binder for the seasoning
  • Use a 50/50 mix of salt & pepper and spread evenly on all surfaces of the beef ribs
  • Let sit at room temp as you setup the smoker
  • Light the Big Green Egg using post oak wood chunks to 275°
  • Put the ConvEGGtor in for indirect cooking
  • Place water pan on top of ConvEGGtor underneath the grill grate
  • When the temp stabilizes and you see a thin line of blue smoke streaming from the top it is time to put the ribs inside
  • Place the ribs on the grilling grate bone side down and let smoke for an hour before checking
  • Look to see if the rib surface is drying out and spray with a mist of water (you can use a mix with cider vinegar if you wish)
  • After 3 hours in the smoke the meat should measure 165° and it is time to wrap
  • Place the ribs in an aluminum pan with 1 cup of red wine (or beef broth) and seal with foil
  • Let this cook for another 2-3 hours until the meat is probe tender and measures 204°
  • Wrap and place in cooler for another 1-2 hours
  • Slice and serve
