Ingredients for Smoked Beef Short Rib

Method

Cooking Directions for Smoked Beef Short Rib

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rub

    In a small bowl, combine kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and brown sugar. Mix well to create a dry rub.

  2. 2

    Season the Ribs

    Pat the beef short ribs dry with paper towels. Rub the spice mixture generously over all sides of the ribs. Let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Smoker

    Soak the wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes. Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C) and add the soaked wood chips.

  4. 4

    Smoke the Ribs

    Place the seasoned short ribs in the smoker, bone side down. Smoke for approximately 4-5 hours, or until they reach an internal temperature of 200°F (93°C).

  5. 5

    Finish with Sauce

    In the last 30 minutes of cooking, brush Kyu's signature barbecue sauce over the ribs every 10 minutes to create a flavorful glaze.

  6. 6

    Rest and Serve

    Once done, remove the ribs from the smoker and let them rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing. Serve with additional barbecue sauce if desired.
