Description

Tender, smoky beef short ribs seasoned with a flavorful dry rub and slow smoked to perfection. Coated with a savory barbecue sauce, these ribs are perfect for a hearty meal that delivers deep smoky flavor with a juicy, melt-in-your-mouth texture.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 to 12 beef short ribs

  • Yellow mustard or olive oil (optional, to help rub adhere)

  • 1 batch Jeff’s original rub (dry seasoning blend)

  • 1 batch Jeff’s original barbecue sauce


Instructions

  • Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).

  • Optional: Lightly coat beef short ribs with yellow mustard or olive oil to help the rub stick.

  • Generously apply Jeff’s original rub on all sides of the ribs.

  • Place ribs in the smoker and cook low and slow for approximately 6 to 8 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls back from the bone.

  • During the last 30 minutes of smoking, brush the ribs with Jeff’s original barbecue sauce to glaze.

  • Remove ribs from smoker, let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Cooking times may vary depending on the size of ribs and smoker temperature consistency.

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure internal temperature reaches at least 195°F (90°C) for optimal tenderness.

  • Jeff’s rub and sauce can be substituted with your favorite dry rub and BBQ sauce if unavailable.

  • Letting ribs rest after smoking enhances juiciness.
