Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Short Rib

    Trim any excess fat from the short rib, leaving a thin layer for flavor. Rinse and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Season the Rib

    Generously rub the short rib with kosher salt and black pepper, ensuring it is evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Smoker

    Preheat your smoker to a temperature of 225°F (107°C). Soak wood chips in water for about 30 minutes, then drain.

  4. 4

    Smoke the Rib

    Place the wood chips in the smoker box or directly on the coals. Place the seasoned short rib in the smoker, bone side down.

  5. 5

    Maintain Temperature and Smoke

    Smoke the short rib for 8-10 hours, maintaining a consistent temperature. Add more wood chips as necessary to keep smoke going.

  6. 6

    Check for Doneness

    The short rib is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 203°F (95°C) and is tender enough to pull apart with a fork.

  7. 7

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the short rib from the smoker and let it rest for 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
