Instructions
 

  • Preheat your smoker to 225°F using oak or cherry wood for the smoke.
  • Trim the fat cap and silver skin off the top side of the beef short ribs.
  • Spread brown mustard over all sides of the ribs and season liberally with a mix of kosher salt, cracked black pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Place the ribs on the smoker and smoke for 3 hours without opening the lid.
  • After 3 hours, start spritzing the beef ribs with beef stock every hour.
  • Keep smoking and spritzing until the internal temperature of the short ribs reaches 205-210°F and a thermometer probe easily slides into the meat.
  • Remove the meat from the smoker and loosely cover it with foil. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes before serving.
