Smoked Beef Short Ribs
Kevin Rathbun
Beef & Lamb
Roast
These smoked short ribs are a tribute to Rathbun’s appetite for beef. He takes a once-lowly cut of meat and with innovative seasoning, hickory chips and slow cooking, turns it into tender, tasty fare, sure to please even the most discriminating palate. Ask the butcher to cut the short ribs 2 to 2½ inches thick, because they shrink during cooking. And be prepared for everyone to ask for second helpings.
Ingredients
- 4 pounds bone-in beef short ribs, cut 2 to 2½ inches thick

- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked Spanish paprika
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 16 ounces lager beer
- 2 cups chicken stock

- 4 tablespoons salted butter, cubed

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked Spanish paprika
