I had some nice meaty beef ribs and was about to do them in a normal 3-2-1 cook when my brain had a spasm. I wanted burnt ends. Why couldn’t finish my ribs like burnt ends? I couldn’t think of a good reason so I did!

I cooked these in my WSM Mini. However, you could do them in an oven or with low indirect heat in a barbecue (you need a temperature of no more than 250 F). It is better in a smoker as the smoke improves it.

I fired my smoker up to 240 F.

I rubbed the ribs with SPOG (a mixture of salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder). I put the ribs on for 3 hours. I took them off and put them in a pan with 125 ml (1/2 cup) beef stock. I put foil over the pan and put them back in the smoker for 2 hours.

I took the ribs in and poured the liquid in the pan into a measuring cup. I defatted the liquid by pulling it out from under the fat with a turkey baster.

I put 125 ml (1/2 cup) of the liquid into the pan. If you don’t have enough liquid, top it up with beef stock. I added 50 ml (1/4 cup) of barbecue sauce. I used Koss Sauce. It is becoming my favourite sauce for glazing.

I put the ribs in the pan and brushed them with the sauce mixture. I put the pan, uncovered, back in the smoker for 1 1/2 hours, turning and brushing twice.

When the ribs were darkly glazed, I let them rest for 10 minutes and served.

The Verdict

These are wonderful. They are my new favourite beef rib! The juicy unctuous ribs with a crust like burnt ends is fantastic. Rich, sweet, beefy. Sigh. I do like my beef ribs.

  • 125 ml (1/2 cup) beef stock
  • 50 ml (1/4 cup) barbecue sauce
