Smoked Beef Ribs

Smoked Beef Ribs are tender, juicy, and infused with a rich smoky flavor, making them a perfect centerpiece for any BBQ gathering. This Halal version uses a blend of spices that elevate the natural taste of the beef while adhering to dietary practices.

Ingredients

• Beef ribs - 1 kg
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Brown sugar - 1 tablespoon
• Paprika - 2 teaspoons
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cayenne pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Smoked wood chips (hickory or apple) - 1 cup
• BBQ sauce (Halal) - for serving

Steps

1. Prepare the beef ribs by trimming excess fat and patting them dry with paper towels.
2. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt to create a rub.
3. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the beef ribs, ensuring all sides are coated. Let them marinate for at least 1 hour (or overnight in the refrigerator for better flavor).
4. Preheat your smoker to 110°C (225°F). If using charcoal, set it up for indirect cooking.
5. Soak the smoked wood chips in water for about 30 minutes, then drain.
6. Once the smoker is ready, add the drained wood chips to the coals or in the smoker box.
7. Place the beef ribs on the smoker grates bone-side down and close the lid.
8. Smoke the ribs for about 5-6 hours, maintaining a consistent temperature of 110°C (225°F), until the internal temperature reaches 90°C (195°F) for tender meat.
9. Remove the ribs from the smoker and let them rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
10. Serve the smoked beef ribs with your favorite Halal BBQ sauce.
