Big Bodacious Beef Ribs

Yesterday I hit up one of our small local meat markets, Southern Alabama Custom Meats.
I'd called looking for IMPS #130 Beef chuck, short ribs, and he had them.
I went in and he had two individually wrapped racks frozen, I asked him if he had any more not frozen and still cryo vac'd.

He did, a four pack, I originally only wanted three but he knocked a dollar off per pound if I took all four... SOLD!


I also picked up a nice rabbit, yeah just one, just my younger son and I will eat it.
Probably cook it up for Sunday dinner, smoked, herb stuffed and bacon wrapped.

Anyways, lets get this cook rolling.


Menu
Hickory Smoked Beef Ribs, basted with a sauce of Black Bean, Lime and Garlic

Grilled Maple Sweet Potatoes
Southwestern Avocado Salad


The Ribs
Four racks of IMPS #130 rubbed with SPOG, paprika and Cajun spice
Wrapped in the fridge overnight, then taken out and allowed to come to room temp
Smoker set to run between 275°-300° with hickory for smoke and a water pan
Plan is to cook these with no crutch/braise and baste a few times towards the end

Southwestern Avocado Salad


The ingredients remain pretty much the same as always, but no two batches are ever the same.

The liquid from two cans of black beans, a couple tablespoons of mashed black beans, two tablespoons of minced garlic and the juice of two lines.

This was an unsuccessful experiment, the only real flavor it imparted was the garlic.

Mmmmm... Lunch was good!
