Beef Ribs Recipe Pellet Grill

by

These beef plate ribs, also known as “dino ribs” due to their size, have become a staple on any BBQ platter, and for good reason if you’ve ever wondered how to make beef ribs or how to make beef ribs tender.

They usually come in racks of three or four, and one rib is plenty for one person. They take some time to prepare properly, but they aren’t difficult, and the wait is well worth it. They not only look impressive, but they taste incredible.

I love making these on an offset smoker, or in my Kamado grill; the key is using indirect heat and time. Today we’re going to learn how to make beef ribs on a pellet smoker, but you can do this on any grill, it’s all about temperature management.

Don’t worry about the time, though; your backyard will smell AMAZING the entire time you cook; be ready for a surprise visit from the neighbors to ask for the tool they borrowed last summer.
