Barbecued Beef Ribs
Pat: Beef ribs are not nearly as common in Memphis as pork ribs, but they are still loved by many and always worth a slab. Because of their massive size—beef rib bones are twice the size of pork ribs—beef ribs are often referred to as the “Fred Flintstone bone.” This size scares a lot of novice grillers, but there’s no need to worry. Beef ribs have more bone than meat, so they will actually take less time to cook and prepare. As with other ribs, they must be slow-cooked at a low temperature for the tenderest results. Cooked for less than 3 hours over indirect heat, these ribs will add real Texas flavor to your backyard cookout.
