beef essentials: short rib dry rub
I just put a mess of beef short ribs in the fridge for an overnight dry brine. Then, I am going to rub them this spice mix, and throw them into the smoker, with some hickory wood, for about 6 – 8 hours. This is a perfect spice rub for most beef; but especially beef short ribs. So, yummy. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make beef essentials: short rib dry rub
-
Step 1PREP/PREPARE
-
Step 2This is not a rub for pork… pork likes sweet. This is a rub for beef, and do not be afraid of all the heat in the recipe. It mellows out as the ribs smoke, and produces an awesome flavor, and a great bark.
-
Step 3Here is what I do. I rub some salt into the ribs, cover with cling wrap, and place into the fridge overnight, or up to 24 hours. I then, take the ribs, rub with the spice mixture, and throw them into a 225f (107c) smoker until cooked… That may take from 5 – 10 hours; depending on the thickness of the ribs, I usually do not use a BBQ sauce on beef ribs, but that is up to you.
