Beef Essentials: Short Rib Dry Rub image

I just put a mess of beef short ribs in the fridge for an overnight dry brine. Then, I am going to rub them this spice mix, and throw them into the smoker, with some hickory wood, for about 6 - 8 hours. This is a perfect spice rub for most beef; but especially beef short ribs. So, yummy. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Number Of Ingredients 9

PLAN/PURCHASE
2 tablespoon(s) black pepper, freshly ground
1 tablespoon(s) white pepper, freshly ground
1 tablespoon(s) dark coconut sugar
1 tablespoon(s) dehydrated onions, finely ground
1 tablespoon(s) ancho chili powder
2 teaspoon(s) mustard powder, i prefer coleman's
1 teaspoon(s) garlic powder
1 teaspoon(s) cayenne powder

Steps:

  • PREP/PREPARE
  • This is not a rub for pork... pork likes sweet. This is a rub for beef, and do not be afraid of all the heat in the recipe. It mellows out as the ribs smoke, and produces an awesome flavor, and a great bark.
  • Here is what I do. I rub some salt into the ribs, cover with cling wrap, and place into the fridge overnight, or up to 24 hours. I then, take the ribs, rub with the spice mixture, and throw them into a 225f (107c) smoker until cooked... That may take from 5 - 10 hours; depending on the thickness of the ribs, I usually do not use a BBQ sauce on beef ribs, but that is up to you.
  • Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • Add the ingredients to a mixing bowl and whisk until combined.
  • Store in a non-reactive jar, in a cool, dry place (cupboard).
  • PLATE/PRESENT
  • Rub into the ribs, and allow to sit for 30 minutes, before smoking. Enjoy.
  • Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
