traeger beef ribs

The Traeger smoker does all the work to make these ribs so tender they practically fall off the bone. The dry rub gives the ribs a delicious crusty bark and you don&#x27;t even need any sauce. They are really that good. Choose chuck ribs or plate ribs for the best results as they have more meat on them.

Turn the ribs over so the bony side is up and peel off the membrane. This is the thick tissue that covers the back of the ribs. Use a butter knife to get under the membrane and loosen it. Once you get it lifted, use a paper towel to hold onto it and pull it off. Sometimes it pulls right off in one piece.

Generously coat both sides and all edges of the ribs with the rub. Let the ribs sit for 10 to 20 minutes to let the rub settle into the meat. You could also let the ribs sit in the fridge overnight with the rub – it will act as a dry brine and tenderize the meat further.

Place the ribs in the pre-heated smoker and cook for 5 to 8 hours. During the last 2 hours, spritz the ribs with the vinegar solution every 30 minutes or so.

Check for doneness with a fork or skewer. They will be easy to pierce with a fork and easy to pull the meat off the bone. If you have a meat thermometer, the ribs should be between 200°F and 205°F.

Remove the ribs from the smoker and cover with butcher paper or aluminum foil for 10 to 20 minutes before serving.

These Traeger smoked beef ribs are so tender they practically fall off the bone. The dry rub gives the ribs a delicious crusty bark and you don't need any sauce. They are really that good.

Beef plate ribs are sometimes sold as beef short ribs. They are larger and meatier than back ribs which has them nicknamed as &#x27;dino ribs&#x27;. These ribs do especially well with a long slow smoke. By the time they finish cooking, the meat is juicy and fork-tender.  

We slathered these ribs in a sweet mustard rub and used an apple brandy spritz while we watched them cook.  These ribs are worth the wait!

Preheat the Traeger to 250°F. Use your favorite type of wood. I like to use either Pit Boss Competition Blend pellets or Traeger Signature Blend pellets.
