Days away from Christmas and 80°f. Hmmm..... beef ribs!

I set the Weber up for indirect and put 2 nice chunks of oak on the grate above the baskets, lined the ribs down the middle. Let them in there while I got the braising liquid ready and until they had nice color. About 40 minutes. Did this instead of a standard sear.

To braise them I combined beef broth, W sauce and Sherry with sautéed onions, black pepper and some granulated garlic. Once the ribs had great color I dropped them in and put the Dutch oven in the Primo set to 305°f. They stayed in there for 2 hours.

I made skin on mashed potatoes and gravy out of the braising juice. Served the ribs on potatoes smothered in the gravy!

Merry almost Christmas y'all

A nice bunch of short ribs. I like the idea of putting them on smoke vs. browning them off, which is what we usually do. We'll need to try it next time.

Thank you, give it a try and see what you think. Gave me much better color in my opinion and gave more flexibility to get things done in steps.

I'm curious what you think.
