Ingredients
2 racks Certified Angus Beef ® back ribs
4 tablespoons kosher salt
4 teaspoons black pepper
1 cup barbecue sauce
Instructions
1.Preheat the Smoker: Set your smoker to 250°F.
2. Prepare the Ribs: Trim any excess fat and remove the thin membrane from the bone side of the back ribs. Season the ribs evenly with salt and pepper.
3. Smoke the Ribs: Place the ribs in the smoker and smoke for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
4. Make the Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the barbecue sauce, bourbon, soy sauce, and chili sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer and reduce to 1 cup of sauce (about 5 minutes).
5. Preheat the Broiler: Set your oven broiler to high.
6. Glaze and Broil the Ribs: Brush the sauce over the rib meat and place the ribs under the broiler for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce begins to bubble but not scorch.
7. Serve: Slice between the bones to separate into individual ribs and serve.
Notes
Consistent Smoking Temperature: Maintain a steady smoker temperature of 250°F throughout the cooking process for even cooking.
Avoid Scorching: Watch the ribs closely while they are under the broiler to prevent the sauce from burning.
Resting Time: Let the ribs rest for a few minutes after broiling before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring moist and flavorful ribs.
