I've neer cooked beef ribs before due to all the negative press on this and other forums. But I finally tried some for myself this weekend. And they were fantastic! Sweet, tender, juicy, and beefy.
After buying the ribs at Wal-Mart, I removed the membrane, wet them down with a splash of worcestershire sauce, then applied some rub.
I wound up leaving them in the fridge two nights in a row because something came up. I cooked them at 225 with two chunks of hickory. At 5.5 hours I applied a 50:50 mixture of of sauce and honey. They were done 1 hour later for a total cook time of 6.5 hours.
They rendered a lot of fat, the meat pulled nicely away from the bone, and the meat was very tender--I'd say about perfect.
I'll definitely cook beef ribs again, and hope you'll give them a try if you haven't. Though I suggest looking through the racks available for the meatier ones.
