Ingredients
Beef Ribs
- 3 pounds beef ribs
Texas Style Rub
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
Instructions
- Prepare the dry rub: In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder until well combined to create the Texas-style dry rub.
- Coat the ribs: Evenly apply the dry rub all over the beef ribs, ensuring every surface is fully covered for maximum flavor penetration.
- Preheat the smoker: Set your smoker to 250°F (120°C) and allow it to come to temperature before placing the ribs inside.
- Smoke the ribs: Place the ribs bone side down on the smoker rack and smoke them for 6 to 8 hours, or until the meat is tender and has developed a rich, smoky crust.
- Rest the ribs: Remove the ribs from the smoker and let them rest for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute before slicing.
Notes
- Spritz the ribs occasionally with apple juice during smoking to maintain moisture and enhance flavor.
- For extra flavor, serve your smoked beef ribs with your favorite barbecue sauce on the side.
- Maintain a consistent smoker temperature to ensure even cooking and tender results.
- Allowing the ribs to rest is crucial to keep them juicy and tender.
