How to Smoke Perfect Traeger Beef Ribs: A Step-by-Step Guide

Smoked beef back ribs are a delicious and flavorful barbecue dish. This recipe involves seasoning the ribs with Traeger Beef Rub and slow-smoking them over apple wood pellets for an amazing smoky flavor. Here’s a detailed guide to preparing these ribs using a Traeger grill.

Ingredients

  • 2 racks of beef back ribs
  • 1/2 cup Traeger Beef Rub
  • Apple BBQ Wood Pellets

Preparation Steps

  1. Remove the Membrane If your butcher hasn't already done so, remove the thin, papery membrane from the bone-side of the ribs. Use a butter knife to lift the membrane, then use paper towels to grip and tear it off.

  2. Season the Ribs Generously season both sides of the ribs with Traeger Beef Rub.

  3. Preheat the Grill Set the Traeger temperature to 225°F and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.

  4. Smoking the Ribs Insert a temperature probe into the center of the meaty section of the ribs, avoiding the bones. Place the ribs bone-side down on the grill grates. Close the lid and cook until the internal temperature reaches 205°F, which typically takes 8-10 hours.

  5. Rest and Serve Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest, lightly covered with foil, for 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips for Success

  • Consistent Temperature: Maintain a steady temperature of 225°F throughout the cooking process.
  • Wood Choice: Apple wood pellets add a sweet, smoky flavor that complements the beef rub.
  • Resting Time: Allowing the ribs to rest helps retain their juices, making them tender and flavorful.

Recommended Products

  • Apple BBQ Wood Pellets: Ideal for adding a sweet and smoky flavor.
  • Traeger Beef Rub: Perfectly seasoned to enhance the natural flavor of the beef.

By following these steps, you can achieve perfectly smoked beef back ribs with a rich, smoky flavor and tender texture. Enjoy your barbecue experience with Traeger's easy-to-follow recipe and high-quality products.
