Description

This beef ribs pellet smoker recipe delivers tender, juicy, fall-off-the-bone ribs with deep smoky flavor. Using a simple seasoning and low and slow cooking method, these ribs turn out rich, flavorful, and perfect for any backyard BBQ.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 rack beef ribs
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
  • BBQ sauce (optional)


Instructions

  1. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs.
  2. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Preheat pellet smoker to 250°F.
  4. Place ribs bone-side down in the smoker.
  5. Smoke for 3 to 4 hours without opening the lid often.
  6. During the last hour, brush BBQ sauce every 20 minutes if using.
  7. Cook until internal temperature reaches 200 to 205°F.
  8. Remove from smoker and let rest for 15 minutes.
  9. Slice and serve.

Notes

Low and slow cooking is key for tender beef ribs. Removing the membrane improves texture and flavor. Use your favorite wood pellets to customize the smoky taste. Let ribs rest before slicing to keep them juicy.
