Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 lbs beef plate ribs
  • 2 tbsp coarse salt
  • 2 tbsp coarse black pepper
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 cup beef broth or apple juice
  • Heavy-duty aluminum foil

Method
 

  1. Pat ribs dry and season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Let sit 30-45 minutes.
  2. Set up smoker for 300°F with oak or hickory wood chunks for clean smoke.
  3. Smoke ribs bone-side down for 2 hours, maintaining steady 300°F temperature.
  4. Wrap ribs tightly in foil with beef broth. Return to smoker for 1 hour more at 300°F.
  5. Check for tenderness - ribs should give when pressed but not fall apart.
  6. Rest 10-15 minutes before slicing between bones and serving.

Notes

Maintain consistent 300°F temperature throughout. Don't skip the braising phase - it's essential for tenderness. Use plate ribs for best results.
