Salt-And-Pepper Beef Ribs

Pit master Mike Mills is way too wily to share his recipe for baby back ribs. (And even if he did, I wouldn't believe half of what he told me.) But he did outline the basic procedure for making Blue Smoke's meaty beef ribs. By the way, if you've never had a barbecued beef rib, you're about to have a life-changing experience.

Type: Meat
Courses: Main Course
Serves: 3 people

Recipe Ingredients

1   Rack beef ribs rack - (2 1/2 to 3 lbs)
  Coarse sea salt - to taste
  Cracked or coarsely-ground black pepper - to taste
3 cups 711mlApple or hickory chips or chunks - soaked in water to
  Cover for 1 hour, then drained
  Favorite barbecue sauce

Recipe Instructions

Generously season beef ribs on both sides with salt and pepper.

Set up grill for indirect grilling. On a charcoal grill, light the coals and rake them into 2 piles at opposite sides of the grill. Place an aluminum foil drip pan in the center. Toss half the wood chips on the coals.

On a gas grill, light burner on 1 side. Place drip pan on other side. Place all the wood chips in a smoker box or smoker pouch. (To make the latter, tightly wrap chips in aluminum foil and poke holes in the top with a pencil to allow smoke to escape.) Place smoker pouch directly over one of the burners under the grate and run grill on high until you see lots of smoke, then reduce heat to medium-low.

Immediately place ribs on the grate, meat-side up, over the drip pan away from the heat. Cover grill and adjust vents to obtain a temperature of about 275 degrees. (If using a smoker, follow manufacturer's instructions.)

Indirect grill the ribs until dark golden brown (almost black), very crisp on the outside and very tender, 5 hours. (If using charcoal grill, replenish coals every hour, adding remaining wood chips after the first hour.)

Serve with your favorite barbecue sauce on the side.

This recipe yields 3 to 4 servings.
