Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 kg beef plate short ribs (3-bone, fat trimmed)
  • 1 tbsp coarse black pepper
  • 1 tbsp coarse sea salt
  • Β½ tsp garlic granules
  • Post oak wood

Method

  1. 1

    Trim the silverskin from the meat side and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Season all over with the salt, pepper and garlic.

  3. 3

    Smoke at 120Β°C (250Β°F) over post oak, meat-side up.

  4. 4

    Spritz with water every hour once the bark sets to keep it from drying.

  5. 5

    Cook until the internal temperature reaches 96–98Β°C (205–208Β°F) and the meat is jiggly and probe-tender β€” about 6–.

  6. 6

    Rest for 30–, then slice between the bones.

Notes

  • No wrap needed β€” beef ribs build a beautiful bark.
  • One bone is a generous single serving.
