Beef Ribs....a little help?

[kccougar]

Unbelievable ribs. These ribs from cowboy are clearly prime-grade, way thick and totally marbled. I ended up cooking straight through for 8 hours without any wrapping. Since I forgot my temp probe I had to go by feel and I took it one step further in the back to basics approach as you can see in the pics.

cowboy was right about fat in his ribs. I completely filled my grease bucket on this one cook and the ribs really shrunk up, but man were they tender. In fact, this might be the most tender meat I've ever done. My wife said these were her new favorite and probably the best thing I've smoked.

I was serving a large group and I was worried I wouldn't have enough if I just cut and set out individual ribs so I separated the meat from the bone (fell right off by running a butter knife through the fat layer between meat and bone) and then I sliced/pulled the meat.

Looks good. Nice to see that you're better at following cowboy's directions than I was.

Here are some of cowboy's short ribs, which we braised.

Unfortunately, due to a nasty gastroenteritis I am unable to partake. But I am told they are delicious.

KC that looks an awful lot like a screwdriver inserted into the meat. What's going on?

Don't worry, he washed it, disinfected with Clorox, then heated it to 200 degrees before bringing it near the cooking area.

I just want to be like you and free myself from the slavery of the Maverick. Of course, the only thing I could find lying around the cabin that I thought I could use to probe for doneness was a screwdriver. It did the job. Don't worry, I wiped on my pant leg first.

I just had beef ribs for the first time at Killen's BBQ in Pearland, TX. I highly recommend. If any of you CSers go to the LSU game in 2017, I'd definitely put it on your list of BBQ joints to hit up.

First time? Really? Seems like a very common BBQ menu item in Texas.

That place looks great. Check out this video:

I think it's pretty common in central Texas, but not quite as common in Houston, at least not as a regular menu item.

Yep, beef ribs aren't regular items around these parts. We mostly have pork ribs. Beef is synonymous with brisket when it comes to Houston BBQ.

Oh. That's a shame.

Absolutely. They were amazing.

Depends on the beef ribs. Typically, no, but the beef ribs I got from cowboy were better than any pork ribs I've had.
