Smoked Beef Ribs Recipe: Founder’s Feast Smoky Glory

Well, howdy, folks! Earl “The Rib Whisperer” Tatum here, sharin’ my Smoked Beef Ribs Recipe with Founder’s Feast seasoning. Back in my Kansas City firefightin’ days, nothin’ brought the crew together like a rack of beef ribs, slow-smoked over applewood. These bad boys are meaty, tender, and packed with that bold, smoky flavor we live for. Grab your smoker, and let’s tell a tale of BBQ glory!

Ingredients for Your Smoked Beef Ribs Recipe

• 4 lbs beef back ribs
• 3 tablespoons Founder’s Feast seasoning
• 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup apple juice (for spritzing)
• 1 cup Kansas City-style BBQ sauce
• Applewood chunks for smoking

How to Smoke Beef Ribs

1. First, trim excess fat from beef ribs. Rub with mustard, then apply Founder’s Feast seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let sit for 30 minutes.
2. Next, preheat your smoker to 250°F with applewood chunks. Place ribs bone-side down on the grates.
3. Then, smoke for 3 hours, spritzing with apple juice every 45 minutes to keep moist.
4. After that, wrap ribs in butcher paper with a splash of apple juice. Smoke for 2 more hours until internal temperature reaches 200°F.
5. Finally, unwrap, brush with BBQ sauce, and smoke for 30 minutes to set the sauce. Rest for 15 minutes, then slice and serve.

Smoking Tips from the Rib Whisperer

For the best Smoked Beef Ribs Recipe, keep your smoker steady at 250°F—patience is key! Additionally, applewood gives a sweet, mild smoke that’s Kansas City gold. For more smoking tips, check out Serious Eats.

Serving Ideas

Serve these ribs with coleslaw and baked beans for a classic BBQ spread. Moreover, a side of cornbread soaks up that smoky sauce like a dream.
