Serves: 4 people

Preparation time: 0.5 hours
Cooking time: 4.5 hours

 

Ingredients:

4 boned beef ribs

4 tbsp BBQ rub

25 cl beef stock

4 tbsp BBQ sauce

 

IN THE KITCHEN:

  1. If ribs are still joined, divide into individual cuts.
    Note: In store, find ribs contained in vacuum sealed packs with contents of 3 to 4 rib bones.
  2. Trim any excess fat.

             Note: Keep skin on back of rib to ensure meat stays on bone while cooking.

  1. Apply a generous coating of BBQ rub.

 

AT THE BARBECUE:

  1. Prepare barbecue for indirect heat, approx. 125°C.

Note: If using 57cm charcoal barbecue, prepare grill for long cook at lower temperatures.

  1. Divide 20 unlit briquettes over charcoal holders. Light 20 more briquettes in chimney starter and divide again over unlit briquettes.
  2. Align for indirect cooking and place aluminium tray between holders. Allow grill sufficient time to reach desired temperature.
  3. Place ribs on grate directly above aluminium tray and smoke for 3 hours until mahogany in colour.

Note: Weber suggests Hickory, Mesquite, Weber Beef blend or Whiskey woodchips for cooking ribs.

Note: If using wood chips, add handful every 30 minutes for first 2 hours. If using wood chunks, add 2 to 3 chunks at start of cooking process.

  1. Once ribs appear mahogany in colour, remove from smoker and wrap tight in butcher paper.
  2. When placed in butcher paper, add extra rub and dash of beef stock and place in aluminium tray.
  3. Raise heat to approx. 150°C, to save on cooking time.
  4. Insert temperature probe and wait for core temperature of 92°C.

Note: Depending on size of rib, temperature should be reached after approx. 90 minutes.

  1. Once core temperature has been reached, unpack ribs and place on BBQ again.
  2. After 5 minutes, glaze with BBQ sauce and let caramelise for 10 minutes.
