We've all looked at these at least once and thought "Maybe?" Wal-Mart Beef Ribs

So I gave these ribs a shot and an unbiased review for anyone that hasn't tried them and wanted to know.

Are Wal-Mart Beef Ribs Worth It?

We’ve all looked at them, held the pack, put em back, picked em up again, walked away…. This video will help you know once and for all if whether or not you should pull the trigger and purchase some Wal-Mart beef ribs.

Ingredients:

1 Pack Wal-Mart Beef Ribs
Hot Sauce
Salt Pepper

Method:

Rub all ingredients on the ribs. Smoke around 275°F for 4 – 5 hours or until desired tenderness.

Notes:

All in all they tasted pretty good. With all the shrinkage you see due to high fat low muscle fiber you end up with just about what you paid for. There does seem to be a good amount of cartilage marbled through these ribs as well that when cutting will make them seem a little tougher than they really are. I just ate around it with little or no problems.
 
I think longer foil is required. I did mine 3.5 in foil with 1/2 hour of that sauced. Had them 2 hours with smoke. The steam helps break the cartilage/fat down a little better . I think chuck ribs instead of back blade are better. I decide I'm not going to pay much for those and get them while on sale from now on.

I have made several successful racks of Walmart cheapo beef ribs. I pull the membrane..i put some Chicago or Montreal steak seasoning on them smoke for about 3-4 hours in the hottest part of Black Betty and it comes out like steak on a stick.

:) by far I think this was a very successful cook and the meat was pretty good. Nice pics guys! Definitely not doging the walmart ribs. Every vid I've ever seen about them though was giving what I felt was a biased negative review. Cost vs quality I think they are a fair value.
