Bering’s Big Green Egg Baby Back Ribs

Ingredients:

2 Racks of baby backs (loin cut preferred)

Brining Solution:

  • 12 Cups of water
  • 4 Cups of vegetable stock (32oz)
  • ½ Cup of salt (non-iodized)
  • 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons light or dark brown sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons of your favorite rub (optional)
  • Kosher salt
  • Pepper

Bering’s Big Green Egg Beef Ribs

Ingredients:

  • 3-4 Bones beef ribs- (make sure they haven’t been trimmed)
  • Kosher salt
  • Coarse ground pepper

Food Prep:

  1. Trim beef ribs of silver skin and unnecessary fat.
  2. If the membrane is very thick, simply score it with a small knife on the bones.
  3. Let ribs sit in baking sheet or cooling tack for one hour.
  4. Liberally sprinkle kosher salt all over ribs.
  5. If using temperature probe, insert into the deepest part of your ribs. (Make sure to avoid contacting a bone as this will produce false readings.)
  6. Let your ribs sit for an hour to 1½ half.

BBQ Items:

  • 4 Hickory or any of your favorite wood chunks like pecan or oak
  • Aluminum or green egg drip pan
  • Remote monitoring temperature probe
  1. Rinse wood chunks and set aside.
  2. Fill drip pan with about 1 inch of water.

BGE Set-up:

  1. Fill BGE with charcoal making a pyramid shape. You should still be able to see the outside holes.
  2. With vents wide open on bottom and top, light fire and after about 10 minutes, use your ash tool to stir the charcoal up. This will help the fire spread quicker.
  3. Place wood chunks on charcoal, with additional layer of charcoal. (Don’t fill past first ring.)
  4. Let fire burn for another 5 minutes. (Fire will begin smoking at this point.)
  5. Place plate setter (legs up) for indirect cooking.
  6. Place drip pan on top of plate setter. (This will be used to add moisture to the meat, plus take care of the fat drippings.)
  7. Place grill on plate setter.
  8. Close lid and leave vents open until temperature reaches 275 degrees.
  9. Insert probe into deepest part of rib meat.
  10. Place the ribs directly on grill, meat side up.
  11. Smoke the ribs at 275-290 degrees for at least 2-3 hours.
  12. After smoking for 2-3 hours, open the egg and take a look at how your ribs are cooking.
  13. If you have a remote monitoring thermometer or instant read thermometer, insert between the bones and check the temperature.
  14. Pull ribs when temperature reaches 200 degrees.
  15. Let cool for 20 minutes.

TIP:

Allowing the meat to come to room temperature will help the meat retain moisture and remain tender.

Place your wood chunks directly on the hot charcoal, this will accelerate the smoking process.

Bering’s Big Green Egg St. Louis Style Ribs

Ingredients:

  • 2 Racks St Louis style ribs (2-3 Pounds each)
  • 12 Cups of water
  • 4 Cups of vegetable stock (32oz)
  • ½ Cup of salt (non-iodized)
  • 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons light or dark brown sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons of your favorite rub (optional)
  • Kosher salt
  • Pepper

Food Prep:

  1. Mix water, stock, ½ cup salt, granulated and brown sugar (add rub if using) together in large container. Mix well with whisk until fully combined.
  2. Remove ribs from packaging and place into water brine.
  3. Place ribs in refrigerator for 1 ½ hours.
  4. Remove from fridge and rinse ribs. Pat dry with towels and place on a cooling rack or aluminum pan meat side up.
  5. After about 30 minutes, your ribs will start to sweat. Sprinkle pepper over the ribs. (I prefer to use a pepper mill set to a coarse ground setting). A salt grinder also works well here for a light dusting on the meat.
  6. Leave ribs on counter for at least 1 hour.
  7. While the ribs are resting, set-up the fire.

BBQ Items:

  • 3-4 Oak, red oak or any of your favorite wood chunks
  • Xl Ziplock bags or Cambro 6 quart container (Must be a BPA free container)
  • Aluminum drip pan with about 1/2 inch of water in the pan
  • Spray bottle with water/vinegar mixture (50/50)
  1. Rinse wood chunks and set aside.

BGE Set-up:

  1. Fill Egg with charcoal making a pyramid shape. You should still be able to see the outside holes.
  2. With vents wide open on bottom and top, light fire and after about 10 minutes, use your ash tool to stir the charcoal up. This will help the fire spread quicker.
  3. Place wood chunks on charcoal, with additional layer of charcoal. (Don’t fill past first ring.)
  4. Let fire burn for another 5 minutes. (Fire will begin smoking at this point.)
  5. Place plate setter (legs up) for indirect cooking.
  6. Place aluminum pan on top of plate setter. (This will be used to add moisture to the meat, plus take care of the fat drippings.)
  7. Place grill on plate setter.
  8. Place v-rack on grill if using one.
  9. Close lid and leave vents open until temperature reaches 275 degrees.
  10. Place the ribs directly on grill, meat side up, unless using v-rack*.
  11. Smoke the ribs at 275 degrees for at least 2 hours. As a rule of thumb, smoke the ribs for as long as the weight of the rib racks Example. A 3-pound rib is generally good to smoke for three hours.
  12. After smoking for 2 hours, open the egg and take a look at how your ribs are cooking.
  13. If you have a remote monitoring thermometer or instant read thermometer, insert between the bones and check the temperature.
  14. Pull ribs when temperature reaches 180-185 degrees.
  15. Let cool for 20 minutes.

TIP:  Brining your ribs will add moisture and increase flavor.

*If using a v-rack, place in center of grill. Do not place ribs next to each other, instead stagger. Example: for a 4 slot rack, put each rack of ribs on opposite end. For a 6 sleeve rack, no more than 3 ribs.

Brine variation: add ¼ cup bourbon.
