Prime Beef Ribs & Pork Steaks
I had these 3 sections of Beef Ribs in my Freezer since last Christmas, when they were cut off of my Prime Ribs.
I didn't want to only smoke one rack full, so Mrs Bear picked up some Pork Sirloin Chops (Steaks). She kept a few pieces to pound, bread, and fry, for another night, and gave me the rest.
So the first day, I rinsed & patted everything dry.
Then I coated the Beef Ribs with Worcestershire "Thick", and sprinkled CBP, Garlic Powder & Onion Powder on top.
Then covered with plastic wrap, and into the fridge for an overnight rest.
Also covered the Pork with Yellow Mustard & some Pork Rub, and covered with plastic wrap & into fridge with the Beef Ribs.
Then the next day:
11:15--------------------Preheat MES 40 to 230*
11:30--------------------Fill one row of AMNPS with Hickory Pellets & light.
11:50--------------------Put AMNPS in bottom left, on bars, and reset heat to 225*.
12:00--------------------Put Beef Ribs in smoker on Rack #1, and Pork Steaks on Rack #2.
02:00--------------------Put Pork in Pan, add foiling mix** & cover with foil.
02:00--------------------Also add another row of pellets to my AMNPS (Forgot about the Taters).
02:30--------------------Stack Beef Ribs in 8 X 8 pan, add foil mix** & cover with foil.
02:30--------------------Also Pull Pork Steak package, and put in cooler with towels.
03:40--------------------Light Weber "Q".
04:00--------------------Put Stuffed Taters on top rack in Smoker.
04:00--------------------Get Pork Steaks out & flip them around awhile on the "Q" with a little BBQ sauce on them.
04:30--------------------Remove Beef Ribs & Stuffed Taters. Ribs were between 155* and 160* IT.
05:00--------------------Take Pics & Eat.
** Foil Mix---------10 oz of Apple Juice, 2 oz of JD BBQ Sauce, and 2 oz of Ken's Honey Teriyaki Marinade. (Heat & stir before adding)
Note: I usually do my Beef Ribs at (3--2.5), but this time I did them at (2.5--2), and they still had some pink at 155* to 160* IT. Hard to say which way I enjoyed the most----They're both so Dang Tasty!!!
Mrs Bear's Stuffed Taters were Awesome----Hard to believe how much Tasty Smoke flavor they absorb in a half hour!!
Thanks For Looking,
Bear

Pet Cemetery over at the edge of the woods.
Those 3 pots make it easy to find my 3 septic tank lids when we have to pump it out every 5 years.
