NRL Grand Final Food

[Sjcampbell]

Doing ribs tomorrow for the footy. I have two racks of St Louis cut pork ribs and while I was in the butcher found a packet of "Korean Beef Ribs" which seem to be a beef short rib but with a full thickness of meat.

I do my pork ribs for 5 hours at 120C and was thinking of putting on the beef ribs 2 hours earlier (7 hours in total) at the same temp, testing for doneness at about the 6.5 hour mark, roughly thr time Franklin mentions in his book.

Any thoughts about that temp and anything I need to know about these beef ribs or any special prep they need? Never done them before so this will be an experiment.

The only thing I can see you are doing wrong is not cooking for the AFL Grand final LOL

Beef Ribs need roughly 7 hours @225F (107C), just salt and pepper rub then set and forget!

Post final update.

Korean style beef ribs were scored both sides and rubbed BBQ pit boys SPG and placed in Kamado at 120C for Seven hours. Pork ribs had the membrane scored and rubbed with SPG and cooked at 120C for 5 hours. Pork ribs given 3 slathers of BBQ Pit Boys Honey Chipotle sauce at 10 min intervals before taking off to rest. No Texas crutch.

AWESOME!!!!! pork ribs still had a nice bite and plenty of flavour from the rub and sauce. As for the Koren beef ribs, I haven't eaten this style of rib before. The meat, as has been said it different previous threads, is a lean layer separated by a small band of fat to the meat between the bones. I cooked it bone up for the first three hours to keep juices flowing in to the leaner meat and the cooked bone down for the remaining four hours. Both layers were as soft as pulled pork. The leaner layer, although coarser was still quite soft and easy to eat hanging on to the "handle".

Sorry there are no pictures but the wife was in Sydney visiting her mum and came home on the train - which was late!!!!! Thus making the final dinner prep a bit of a panic as its a half hour drive from our farm to the station.
