Beef Spare Ribs.............Spice Rub Challange

[jcboxlot]

Beef spare ribs, or so they called them from the butcher shop.  2 lbs bone on end perpendicular? ($11.00) Different than what you would expect from a rib.  Cut name?

6 ribs total.

Two each got basic JANES crazy salt and CRAZY pepper

Two got https://www.oakridgebbq.com/?product=competition-beef-n-pork


Two got http://spiceologist.com/   Coffee mixture rub



Three hours in the SI at 220 with hickory.  Last 45 mins  (one of each)  got wet mopped with a basic BBQ suace.   They were thin, so I didn’t even bother tempin’ them!



VERDICT………………………….Wonderful, better with the ones that were sauced!


Janes Crazy salt does a better job than you might think!  Plain, simple, good meat flavor.

Oakridge was each of our fav.  A bit of heat, a bit of sweet.

Spiceologist was a close 2 or 3 to others.  Depends on what you like for heat/coffee flavor.


If you try to repeat this recipe and get thin ribs.   Don’t let them in the smoker forever!



PS, when I do this next time I’ll cut time by ½ hour




PSS, side was / were fingerings with carrots / EVOO, rub, brown sugar in a Griswold.  Top top rack

I'm guessing I had the Kalbi cut.

Great video, info overload for the butcher impaired.

Thanks

I did beer ribs about a year ago, turned out to be the worst thing I made.  Well idiot me didn't cut off the top fat cap OR split into ribs before smokin'.
