Smoked Beef Short Rib

Prep time: 40 minutes

Cook time: 8 to 9 hours

Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 Rack Beef Short Ribs
  • Bourbon 350ml
  • Porter Beer 1 bottle BBQ Sauce 300g
  • Extras: Foil / Grease proof paper / butter (Optional)

    • Method

    1. Pre-heat your smoker to 150C with Redheads natural wood Charcoal and your preferred solid smoking wood.
    2. Prepare spice rub, add in herbs if you wish and set aside.
    3. Prepare Ribs by removing the membrane and rubbing generously with mix.
    4. Add to your smoker and smoke for 5 to 6 hours.

      Check the fire, temperature and smoke as you go.
    5. Whilst the smoking is underway, begin reducing bourbon in a thick bottom pan.
      Burn off the alcohol until it becomes a syrup, add porter and reduce to a glaze, add Smokey BBQ sauce and mix.

      Set aside.
    6. After 5 to 6 hours, remove ribs from BBQ but wrap securely in foil and grease proof paper. Baste with 50-100g butter and a good splash of beer.
      Add back to the smoker and finish cooking for about 3 hours or until tender to the touch.
      Ideally the rib holds well together but you could remove the bone if needed to make it tender.
    7. For the last 15 minutes open the foil wrap to expose the rib to re-bark (re-texture/crisp) then add to your plate.

      Generously coat in sauce and enjoy!
