Ingredients

  • 1 beef plate ribs (3-bone section)
  • spicy mustard
  • coarse grind steak seasoning or your favorite beef rub
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup dry red wine (you can easily substitute water for the wine and broth if you wish)

Instructions

  • Trim the membrane off the back of the ribs by using a spoon handle to get between the meat and the membrane and peel the membrane back and discard
  • Trim the rest of the fat off the meat on the bone side and then do the same on the meat side
  • Slather with mustard and then hit the beef ribs with your favorite beef rub
  • Set up the grill for two zone grilling/indirect cooking with coals/smoke wood on one side and the meat on the other
  • Target temp inside the grill is 275-325
  • Smoke until the ribs hit approximately 175F internal (about 3 hours, but remember cook to temp, not time)
  • Then place the beef ribs on top of a cooling rack in an aluminum pan and pour in the broth and red wine
  • Place another aluminum pan on top, upside down to keep the moisture in
  • After another approximate 2 hours of cooking, the ribs should be a little over 200 degrees
  • Remove from the heat, allow to rest and serve.
