Ingredients
  

  • 1 set of beef plate short ribs cut 1-2-3 A, about 5 pounds (3 bones)
  • 1 cup hot sauce
  • 1 cup Salt Pepper Garlic seasoning from Spiceology
  • 1/2 cup Coffee Junkie seasoning from Spiceology

Instructions
 

  • Ensure that your beef ribs are defrosted fully if you purchased them frozen.
  • Preheat your Traeger grill to 225*.
  • Unwrap the ribs and pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Using a sharp paring or boning knife, trim the beef ribs as necessary to ensure an even fat cap.
  • Remove the silver skin on the meat side and score the silver skin on the bone side.
  • Coat the ribs entirely in hot sauce.
  • Then season generously with salt pepper garlic blend.
  • Dust the beef ribs with Coffee Junkie seasoning.
  • Insert a Meater probe in the thickest part of the meat, being sure not to hit the bones.
  • When the grill is hot, place the seasoned ribs in the grill and pair the Meater to your phone.
  • Set the desired temperature for 165*.
  • Allow the ribs to cook at 225* until they reach 165*-- about 5 hours.
  • Pull the ribs from the grill and wrap them in pink butcher paper.
  • Adjust the Meater setting to a new goal of 203* and place the meat back in the grill.
  • Increase the Traeger temperature to 275* and continue cooking the ribs until probe tender.
  • This should take another 5-6 hours.
  • Remove the beef ribs from the grill and place in a cooler or holding box to rest for at least one hour.
  • Using a large slicing knife, cut between the bones and serve your amazing beef ribs.
