Smoked Boneless Beef Country Style Ribs
Boneless country-style beef ribs coated with steak sauce and rub, then smoked until steak-tender.
Servings 6 servings
Ingredients
- boneless beef country style ribs quantity to suit your group
- 1 bottle A1 or other steak sauce yellow mustard may be substituted
- 1 cup Jeff's Naked Rib Rub approximately
- barbecue sauce warm, for serving
Instructions
- Coat the beef ribs in steak sauce, then massage in about 1 cup rub. Let them marinate briefly while preparing the smoker.
- Prepare the smoker for 225°F. If using the charcoal water smoker described in the article, light a chimney of lump charcoal, add it to the fire pan and add hot water to the water pan.
- Place the ribs on the grate and add apple or another preferred smoking wood.
- Smoke about 2–2 1/2 hours, until about 170–175°F and tender to your liking. Wind and other conditions may extend the cook beyond 3 hours.
- For the optional more-tender finish, smoke about 1 hour, then wrap each rib loosely in heavy-duty foil for the remaining cooking time.
- If desired, unwrap and grill over medium heat 5–10 minutes to firm the exterior. Serve with warm barbecue sauce on the side.
Notes
Estimated yield: 6 servings for a typical family batch of large boneless country-style ribs. The original gives no meat weight or count; adjust portions and sauce/rub quantities to the ribs you buy. The foil finish is an alternative to smoking uncovered throughout.
