Smoked Beef Plate Ribs

Ingredients

• 2 to 3 beef plate ribs
• 3 tablespoons, or to taste, Uncle Dibbz Texas Steak Rub

Instructions

1. Preheat your Traeger or pellet smoker to 275°F.
2. Trim any silver skin and excess hard fat from the beef ribs.
3. Season the ribs heavily on all sides with Uncle Dibbz Texas Steak Rub. No binder is needed.
4. Let the ribs sit at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes so the seasoning can settle into the meat.
5. Place the ribs bone side down directly on the smoker grates.
6. Smoke at 275°F for about 3 hours, or until the bark starts to set.
7. Wrap the ribs tightly in butcher paper or foil, then return them to the smoker.
8. Continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches around 203°F to 205°F and the ribs are probe tender. Total cook time should be about 6 to 7 hours.
9. Remove the ribs from the smoker and let them rest, loosely covered, for 20 to 30 minutes.
10. Slice between the bones and serve, or shred the meat for sandwiches, chili, tacos, or loaded potatoes.
