Hey everyone

Was looking at the butchers in my local area & noticed there was one advertising their a bbq & low n slow butcher about 25 mins drive, fair enough i might as well pop in & check them out.

well they had all the U.S cuts, packer briskets, short ribs, butts, tri-tip etc.. only thing was its expensive but i guess everywhere has gone up in price.
I picked up a 2 pack of cape grim beef shortribs which is an ultra premium producer of beef in australia.

the night before smoking them i coated them in lanes signature rub, wrapped them up & into the fridge.

lit the smoker about 8am and got the beef ribs on then waited till around 12 to put the moinks on

Was at this point i wrapped the ribs in foil & continued to cook at 275, i dont usually go by temp when cooking tough cuts that need breaking down i go by how it probes.

Probe slides in without any resistance & after an hours rest ready to slice. They were gelatinous melt in your mouth, absolutely my favourite bbq thing to eat is beef shortribs.

I love Dino ribs as well, holy cow, your's look perfect, meat Jell-O, gotta love it.
Please tell us more about the moinks* never heard of them before.


I took out a 3 bone slab of Dino's two days ago to thaw in the refer.
The next day I woke up sick so I decided to try something new with them, something quick and easy.
I stripped all the meat off the bones.
And browned in the C.I. skillet with a little oil and tomato paste. Once it was nicely brown'd I tossed it into the Insta pot with a whole bulb of unpeeled garlic, a whole carrot a celery stalk, one bayleaf 5 or 6 whole black pepper corns and an unpeeled yellow onion halfed, with a palm full of rock salt. Set the machine on high pressure for 12 minutes and let it do a natural release. Holy crap, talk about KILL'ER grub. I ate it over steamed rice the first night, the whole meal was completely set it and forget it, with the Insta pot, and the rice cooker. The second night was last night, and I felt like beef stew, so I made up some brown grave with the saved beef drippings and some of my instant chocolate brown roux.chopped up some carrots, celery, an onion, some green peas, a red bell pepper,some tomato paste, and opened 2 cans of canned new potatoes, which are great fried or in soups and stews.
Tossed it all into my Cast iron cauldron as I call it, Dutch oven to most others, and let it come to a rolling boil then hit it with a cup of my wife's Pinot grigio. Then I backed the heat down to barely a bubble every 10 to 15 seconds, and let it stew uncovered for an hour or two to thicken up. Made up some Bisquick drop biscuits brushed with butter and milk, not buttermilk.

I split the biggest cathead sized biscuit in half and and laddled on the shredded Dino rib meat stew over the biscuit. Like I said I was sick, and didn't think it was worthy of photos. I was completely wrong, it ended being one of the best meals I have made in a long time, it was completely delicious.

Man I sure do love cooking winter food, it's where I shine as a cook.
Soups Chili's, Pasta's, and Stews are my thing.

Sorry for the highjack post, can't sleep once again, and Im bored outta my head . LOL!!!!

Cheers mate thanks a bunch, oh what is a moink? Traditionally its a meatball wrapped in bacon but some people stuff them aswell, i use chedar cheese but have also seen jalapeno stuffed.

Crap your feeling sick i hope you feel better soon. Yuuumm both of those recipies sound amazingly delicious & an excellent use for some beef ribs. i might try something like that, dont have an instapot but i do have a pressure cooker the presto 23 quart but its more for canning & sterilzing havent used it for food yet but i very well may. Should definitley have taken some photos.

How good are winter meals & winter cooking mm love a good chili or stew being from america youd be going into that season aswell lucky lol i prefer winter to summer.

Nah no need to apologise lol i have trouble sleeping most nights aswell


Looks fantastic, and oh so juicey.
And I could cobble up all of those moinks

Nicely done.

David

Ribs look great! I’d scarf down a half dozen of those moinks too 😋

Thanks mate looks like im gonna need to make some more lol
 
Great looking Dino ribs. The definition of juicy. Nice work.

I don't do them often. They are $15.99 lb. around here.

I thought that's what they looked like, yum those sound kill'er, I'm gonna have to make some up. As far as the Instapot goes, I just got one a few months ago, and I'm loving it, they are so quick and easy. I haven't messed anything up in it yet, and that is saying something. LOL!!!

Thank you, and I'm feeling much better already, almost back to normal.
