Beef Short Ribs (finger food)

[cowgirl]

I wanted to try some boneless beef ribs on the drum. I do these a lot over a fire, but wanted to try them on the drum, then seared over the fire like a steak.

I just rubbed them with olive oil, then sprinkled with kosher salt and pepper.



Heated up my drum...



Smoked them with some potatoes at a temperature of 225 for 1 hour...



Sliced my potatoes, dipped them in beer batter and fried...



The ribs were cooked in 1 hour so I skipped the fire sear..



Sprinkled the batter fried potatoes with some homemade seasoned salt...
Cubed the ribs......





My company went through it pretty fast and I didn't hear them complain.





Thanks for checking out my finger food supper. :)

As always...great looking.

So did you just use a knife and cut the meat off the ribs? Or did you buy it like that?
I've never had battered fried potatoes. How are they? They sound tasty.

Looks like a good Friday night with a couple of beers, some friends and some tasty morsels.

Points for sure.

Dude, they were boneless beef ribs. They come that way at the store.
I really like the battered fried potatoes, they are crunchy on the ouside but tender in the middle. :)

Scott.... I like meat, tatoes and beer. lol Finger food!

The boneless short ribs are cut from the 'middle chuck' - below the blade bone but above the eye of the chuck.

Great looking Q Jeanie, i also noticed that you had a good choice of beverage. You should run a food camp.

I just showed this post to my neighbor and asked what he thought. He said "How about next weekend?" I said Yep! We'll be having about 11 people here so this will be fun to do.

Thanks for the post and the pics.

 

[cowgirl]

Killbuck, that sounds great! If I lived closer, I'd crash your party. lol

Let me know if you need a beer batter recipe for the tatoes! :)

[scubadoo97]

Nice job Jeanie. I shy away from boneless ribs since I figure they are just chuck, not like there is anything wrong with that.

Yours look fantastic. I love the taters. I learn something new with your posts

 

[bassman]

Jeanie, that's just some awesome looking grub. I could use a little of that right about now.
