Feel like a caveman eating these hanging beef ribs. Seasoned with your favorite rub, these are easy ribs to make but with great flavor.
You can smoke multiple racks of ribs at a time, just make sure to leave space between each so they get even smoke. Hanging is a popular method and gets a lot of smoke exposure all the way around the rubs without the use of racks.
When the ribs have finished cooking, simply slice and serve with your favorite BBQ sauce. Turn the leftovers into amazing shredded beef sandwiches the next day.
The hook is placed after the first bone then hung in the smoker to cook.
If cooking to very tender then the last bit may require the use of a rack so they don’t fall apart under their own weight.
A light rub is applied over all the surfaces before being placed in the smoker.
The membrane on the ribs should be removed before cooking to expose the meat below.
Once cooked the beef ribs are cut into single bone portions to be served.
Good beef ribs have a thick layer of meat on the bones and make good eating.
When cooked the ribs will have good pull-back and be a deep mahogany color.
