Old Fat Guy Smoked Short Ribs

I love short ribs. Obviously, it was time to try short ribs in the Louisiana Grills Pellet Smoker. I also decided to experiment a little from my normal short rib recipe.

This recipe can be made in the oven. Just do the first 3 hours in a 230 F oven on a rack over a roasting pan. It will be delicious but it won’t have the smoke taste. You need the smoke taste. Get a smoker.

I started with 1 kilogram (2 pounds) of short ribs. This is just enough for She Who Must Be Obeyed and I because there is a fair amount of shrinkage when cooking short ribs.

I rubbed them with Louisiana Grills Sweet Rib Rub.

I preheated the smoker to 225 F and put the ribs on.

I smoked them for 3 hours. Just before the 3 hours were up, I made the foiling sauce that would also be used for a glaze later.

I mixed the sauce ingredients together in a small saucepan and brought them to a boil. I reduced the heat to low and simmered for 10 minutes.

I took the ribs off the smoker and put them in a small roasting pan. I poured the hot sauce into the pan and covered it with foil.

It is cold here in the mountains. I could have put the ribs back in the smoker but there would be no additional smoke flavour as the ribs are covered by foil. So, I put the ribs in the oven that had been preheated to 230 F. If it was in the middle of a hot summer, I would have continued cooking them on the grill to keep the house from heating up.

I cooked them for 2 hours in the oven.

I took the ribs out and poured the sauce off to make a glaze later.

I put the ribs back in the oven uncovered for an hour.

Just before the hour is up, I took the fat off the sauce and heated it to a boil. I made a slurry of the cornstarch and water and stirred it into the sauce. I stirred until the sauce was thickened.

I took the ribs out of the oven and put them in a serving dish. I poured the glaze over them.

We served the ribs with Bacon Fried Potatoes (the next post) and creamy coleslaw.

The Verdict

I love short ribs. I have eaten a lot of short ribs. I have cooked a lot of short ribs. These are the best ever. They are just flat out fantastic.
