Texas Barbecue Beef Ribs
Ingredients
6 to 8 mesquite or hickory wood chunks
6 pounds beef back ribs (about 12 ribs)
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1-1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup ketchup
1 4-ounce can diced green chile peppers
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced
Preparation
At least 1 hour before smoke cooking, soak wood chunks in enough water to cover. Drain before using.
Trim
fat from ribs. For rub, in a small bowl combine salt and black pepper.
Sprinkle rub evenly over ribs; rub in with your fingers.
For
sauce, in a small saucepan combine onion, honey, ketchup, undrained
chile peppers, chili powder, mustard, and garlic. Cook and stir over
low heat for 10 to 15 minutes or until desired consistency.
In a
smoker arrange preheated coals, drained wood chunks, and water pan
according to manufacturer's directions. Pour water into pan.
Place
ribs, bone sides down, on grill rack over water pan. (Or place ribs in
a rib rack and place on grill rack.) Cover and smoke for 2-1/2 to 3
hours or until ribs are tender, brushing once with the sauce during the
last 15 minutes of smoking.
Add additional coals and water as needed to maintain temperature and moisture. Pass any remaining sauce with ribs.
Makes 6 servings.
