Smoked Beef Short Ribs
Smoked beef short ribs are a popular cut of meat that comes from the lower chest of the cow. Short ribs are typically a tougher cut of beef, but when they are smoked low and slow, they become incredibly tender and flavorful.

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.
