I’ve been wanting to a plate of these (130 chuck short ribs- aka 4-bone beef ribs) for a while but have only been seeing the little 3inch butcher chopped up ones :-(

So as I was “slowly” walking by the butcher counter the young cleanup kid asked if I needed help, so I asked if he had some full packs in the back and he says yea but you have to take the whole pack.......so bam!!!

Prepped it by trimming off the fat cap and silver skin.

Yes yes yes!!!!!I love everything about that plate, I'd take beef ribs over brisket every time, like! RAY
 
Indeed!!I just made very much similar bone beef ribs. They taste awesome and i am now trying a bit differently as mentioned here . Hoping to get even better taste ;) I use food processor normally to chop vegetables and other side ingredentients which enhcance the taste with beef ribs. I use Hamilton Beach. Unless you are looking into a chef quality food processor which is far more expensive, just go with a good brand name. Cuisinart, Hamilton Beach, and KitchenAid are all solid options.

Awesome job there civilsmoker. Nice find on the ribs bet you made a new friend at the meat counter.

Thanks Warren, yea the kid was like 18 and he was asking all about what I was going to do with them, so we had a discussion about smoking and the like and I could see his eyes opening wide as he had never heard of such ways to cook meat.......I swear, poor kid working at a meat counter and never had a smoked beef rib before.........

Damned fine looking Dino Ribs, nice cook!
Glad I just ate a hearty breakfast or this would be tortuous.
LIKE!
Thanks Chiller, I thought about having the leftovers for breakfast, but for some reason I was still full from dinner......If I can be a little tortuous.......the two left over ones are going to get put in a roasting pan with some creamy Marsala sauce along with some yukons, roots, shrooms, and sweet onion, then braised till the vegs are done..........Dang it now I'm hungry again.....what to eat....owe I have wings going on the smoker in a few.....yea!

Nice plate, those ribs look phenomenal!
Many thanks WateringHB! PS I found a source on free oak.......The only problem it is in Oregon, so its not so free......
 
Too bad that is so far away. I’m still looking over this way, so far not much luck! If that changes I will sure let ya know!
