Smoked Beef Short Ribs

Kevin Rathbun

Cuisine

Beef & Lamb

Category

Roast

These smoked short ribs are a tribute to Rathbun’s appetite for beef. He takes a once-lowly cut of meat and with innovative seasoning, hickory chips and slow cooking, turns it into tender, tasty fare, sure to please even the most discriminating palate. Ask the butcher to cut the short ribs 2 to 2½ inches thick, because they shrink during cooking. And be prepared for everyone to ask for second helpings.
