Easy Smoked Beef Ribs Recipe

meets robust flavor in every bite. Using the classic dry brine technique, these ribs are seasoned to perfection and smoked low and slow to achieve that melt-in-your-mouth goodness. The dry brine not only enhances the beefy taste but also helps create a deliciously crispy bark on the outside.

Dry brining is a method of brining without any liquid to make your meat as juicy as possible. The salt crystals must be larger than those of table salt to dry brine, which is why we recommend kosher salt or coarse sea salt.
