Overnight Beef Short Ribs
the best bite in BBQ
Equipment
- 1 RecTeq RT-700 Bull Smoker (or other pellet smoker)
- 1 box of cotton and latex gloves
- 1 Thermapro Instant Read Thermometer
- 1 sauce brush
- 1 boning knife or slicing knife
Ingredients
- 8 tbsp Yellow Mustard (approximate)
- 6 tbsp Kosher Salt
- 6 tbsp Pepper

- 1-2 Beef Rib slabs (Costco is a good source)
- 4 tbsp Apple Cider vinegar (optional)
- 1 roll butcher paper (optional)
- 1 jar Stubbs BBQ Sauce (original)
Instructions
- At least 1 hour in advance, prep the meat by rubbing with mustard and sprinkling on SPG (salt – pepper – garlic) to coat all sides.
- Preheat smoker to 225 degrees. (In the video I cooked at 250 but next time I'd do 225)
- Put the meat on the smoker for 8 hours, unwrapped, until internal temperature reaches 210 degrees.
- If desired, you can spray with apple cider vinegar during the cook if the bark starts to look dry.
- If desired, you can wrap in butcher paper after 5-6 hours when internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
- Allow meat to rest at least 30 minutes after removing from the smoker.
- Slice the ribs apart.
- Apply BBQ sauce to the top of the rib, and the side if desired.
- Enjoy!
