Texas-Style Beef Short Ribs
One portion of this dish contains about 0g of protein, 0g of fat, and If you have butcher paper, smoking wood, garlic powder, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes roughly 7 hours. It is a good option if you're following a gluten free diet.
Instructions
In a small bowl combine pepper, salt, and garlic powder (if using) to make the rub. Season ribs all over liberally with the rub.
Fire up smoker or grill to 225°F, adding chunks of smoking wood chunks (see shopping link above) when at temperature. When the wood is ignited and producing smoke, place the ribs in the smoker or grill, meat side up, and smoke until an instant read thermometer registers 165°F when inserted into the thickest part of the ribs.
Wrap each rack of ribs tightly in butcher paper and return to smoker. Continue cooking until an instant read thermometer registers 185°F when inserted into the thickest part of the ribs. There should be no resistance when inserting the thermometer into the meat.
Transfer ribs to an empty cooler and let rest for a minimum of 30 minutes, up to 3 hours. Slice ribs into individual bones and serve.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir
Beef Short Ribs can be paired with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir. Beef and red wine are a classic combination. Generally, leaner cuts of beef go well with light or medium-bodied reds, such as pinot noir or merlot, while fattier cuts can handle a bold red, such as cabernet sauvingnon. The GEN5 Merlot with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 12 dollars per bottle.
