Beef
March 12, 2024
I have been Steven’s assistant for almost 25 decades. You can’t picture how several amazing barbecued meats (and foods) I have savored many thanks to him.
If questioned, I acknowledge my arms-down favored protein is beef plate ribs, identified colloquially as dinosaur ribs, brontosaurus ribs, or Jurassic bones. If you have by no means experienced them, get thee to a butcher store that understands what 123A indicates. (Which is a NAMP variety that helps butchers identify actual meat cuts.) Beef plate ribs are not commonly sold in supermarkets, so you could possibly have to specific order them, relying on where by you are living.
But if you’re an unrepentant carnivore, really don’t die with no tasting these exquisite bones.
Beef Plate Ribs
What ever you connect with them, these Flintstonesque plate ribs, freshly common in barbecue circles, are a carnivore’s dream—rich, smoky, tender, beefy, and seductively unctuous.
A rack normally consists of 3 bones, ribs 6 by 8, and can weigh as significantly as 6 lbs. They are minimize from the brief plate, which is positioned beneath the primary rib and bookended by the brisket and the flank steak. They can be up to 12 inches in length. They need to have to be grilled or smoked minimal and slow for various hrs, not not like brisket. But believe in me: Taking in them is an superb reason to get up in the morning. (Help save 1 for breakfast? Why not?)
Meat this excellent, this primeval, requires easy seasonings—coarse salt, freshly ground black pepper, and maybe a number of very hot purple pepper flakes. Your favourite rub—one made up of coffee—can be terrific, also. It’s the smoke that takes these ribs around the best.
Barbecue sauce? That would be your selection.
