Ingredients

Before we dive into the procedure, you should gather the ingredients required for our recipe. Here they are:

• Prime beef plate ribs
• Killer Hogs AP seasoning
• Mojo Beef rub
• Killer Hogs Steak rub
• Beef broth
• Pickle juice
• Soy sauce
• Worcestershire sauce

Preparing the Ribs

To start, you must ensure that you’ve purchased excellent quality meat. We recommend buying ribs from The Butcher Shoppe in Pensacola, FL, or any butcher who supplies top-quality meat.

1. Trim the fat: Trim the ribs to a ¼ inch of fat and sinew. A fatty layer of beef is essential, but too much fat can cause flare-ups.
2. Apply the rubs: Coat the ribs with a layer of AP seasoning, a layer of Mojo Beef rub, and a layer of Killer Hogs Steak rub. Be sure to season generously.
3. Smoke the Ribs: Preheat your smoker or grill to 275 degrees Fahrenheit. Smoke the ribs for 1.5 hours, basting periodically with Mojo Mop.
4. Wrap the Ribs: After 1.5 hours, wrap the ribs in butcher paper and keep them covered for another hour or two until the internal temperature reaches 202 degrees Fahrenheit.
5. Rest the Ribs: Once the ribs are cooked correctly, allow them to rest for an hour in a dry cooler to let the juices settle before slicing and serving.

Spritz with Mojo Mop

Now that you know how to prepare the beef plate ribs, we must discuss Mojo Mop.

The Mojo Mop is the secret ingredient that adds the perfect tangy flavor! To prepare the Mojo Mop:

1. Combine beef broth, pickle juice, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce in a spray bottle.
2. Mop the ribs with the prepared Mojo Mop every half hour or so during the smoking process.
3. The Mojo Mop helps keep the meat moist while adding some extra flavor.

Serving the Ribs

Now that you’ve prepared the meat perfectly let’s serve them in a way that will maximize their flavor.

Sides

When it comes to the sides, you can team the beef plate ribs with classics like cornbread, mac & cheese, baked beans, or potato salad. Or you can prepare a fresh salad accompanied by some grilled or roasted veggies, and your meal is ready to go!

Beverages

Pair your beef plate ribs with beer, wine, or any other drink you love. A chilled beer or a glass of bold red wine can greatly complement the smoky flavors of the meat.

Conclusion

Smoked beef plate ribs are the perfect option for meat lovers and a great way to show off your grilling skills. The perfectly cooked meat with the right seasoning makes all the difference. For the best experience, choose high-quality meat, be patient with the smoking process, and use the Mojo Mop to add the perfect tangy flavor. Don’t forget to accompany the plate with some delicious sides and your preferred beverage.
