Back Ribs

Beef back ribs are a delicious and often overlooked cut that delivers incredible flavor and tender, fall-off-the-bone meat.

Where They Come From:

• These ribs are cut from the upper section of the rib cage, specifically from the part that's left after the ribeye roast or prime rib is removed.
• They're located along the spine, hence the name "back ribs."

What They're Like:

• Meaty: While they might not be as meaty as short ribs, they still offer a good amount of flavorful beef.
• Rich Flavor: They have a rich, beefy flavor that's enhanced by slow cooking.
• Tender When Cooked Right: Slow cooking or smoking breaks down the connective tissue, making them incredibly tender.
• Great for Barbecuing: They're a classic barbecue favorite, perfect for smoking or grilling

How to Cook Them:

• Slow and Low: The key to tender beef back ribs is slow cooking.
• Smoking: Smoking adds a delicious smoky flavor and tenderizes the meat.
• Braising: Braising in a flavorful liquid also yields tender and delicious results.
• Grilling: They can be grilled, but require care to avoid drying them out.

Perfect For:

• Barbecues and cookouts
• Slow-cooked comfort meals
• Smoker recipes
• Oven-braised dishes

Beef back ribs are a fantastic choice for anyone who loves tender, flavorful beef. They're perfect for slow cooking, smoking, or braising, and they're sure to be a hit at any gathering.
