Jeff’s Texas Style BBQ Beef Ribs
Let's get grilling
1
Using a dinner knife, remove the thick membrane on the bone side of the rack by loosening it until it tears and then grabbing the edge of the membrane with a paper towel and pulling it off. Trim any excess fat on top of the rack down to ⅛ of an inch and trim edges of any “hangers” to shape the rack.
2
Evenly season the top and sides with kosher salt, followed by coarse black pepper.
3
Using Kingsford® Pecan Charcoal, smoke the ribs at 275°F for approximately 6 hours until the entire rack is tender.
4
A dark “bark” will be created from the smoke, fat, salt and pepper, and test for tenderness using a probe. The meat’s internal temperature should be approximately 210°F.
5
Rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Jeff Knoch Tip:
Remove the center bone by simply pulling it out and then cut the rack into two very large portions. This provides you with a much better “meat to bone” ratio.
