Smoked Beef Ribs - Cowboy Kent Rollins

Prep Time 6 hours
Total Time 13 hours 15 minutes
Servings 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 5 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground coriander
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon coffee grounds
  • ½ tablespoon dry mustard
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • ½ tablespoon garlic powder
  • 3 teaspoons ancho chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon coarse ground black pepper
  • 4 to 6 lb. chuck short ribs
  • Juice of 1 lime

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients.
  • Trim any silver skin from the ribs. Place on a baking sheet, rub the lime juice on both sides. Generously rub the seasoning mix on both sides and edges of the ribs. Place the ribs in a vacuum sealed bag and place in the icebox 6 hours, or overnight.
  • Remove the ribs from the fridge about 40 minutes before smoking to let them warm close to room temperature.
  • Clean and preheat the grill to 225 degrees F. I like to use a blend of mesquite and apple woods. Place the ribs on the indirect side of the grill and shut the lid.
  • Check the grill temperature and smoke about every hour. Add more wood chunks as needed. Cook for at least 6 hours or until the internal temperature of the ribs are 185 degrees F.
  • Remove the ribs from the grill and double wrap with butcher paper. Continue to cook on the indirect side of the heat for 1 more hour, or until the internal temperature of the ribs is 205 degrees F.
  • Remove from the smoker and let rest for about15 minutes. Unwrap the ribs and serve.
