What You Will Need:

The Beef
  • 2 lbs beef chuck ribs - about 4-5 bones
  • 2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard - spicy with horseradish
  • 6 Tablespoons Hey Grill Hey Signature Beef Seasoning - or equal dry rub of your choice see below
Simple Beef Rub (Can be used in place of Beef Seasoning)
  • 2 Tablespoons coarse Kosher salt
  • 2 Tablespoons coarse black pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons garlic powder - I use McCormick's Lemon/Pepper for the whole thing.
Rib Spritz
  • 1 cup white vinegar - or apple cider for additional flavor, your call
  • 1/4 cup hot sauce - I recommend Texas Pete but use what you like.

Equipment Needed:

  • smoker
  • fruit wood

Method:

  • Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees F using a good hard wood for the smoke The author likes oak and cherry because she is from Texas, I would rather use pecan and cherry woods for these ribs.
  • Prepare your short ribs by trimming off the fat cap and silver skin on the top side of the meat.
  • Slather the ribs on all sides with the mustard and season liberally with the beef seasoning or equal parts kosher salt, cracked black pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Place the ribs on the smoker, close the lid, and smoke for 3 hours (without opening the lid!)
  • After 3 hours, start spritzing the beef ribs with the beef stock. Spritz every hour.
  • Continue smoking and spritzing until the internal temperature of your short ribs reads 205-210 degrees F, and the thermometer probe feels like it is sliding into the meat like it's softened butter.
  • Remove the meat from the smoker and cover it loosely with foil. Let your short ribs rest for at least 30 minutes before serving.
