What are Boneless Beef Short Ribs?

Beef short ribs are taken from the front portion of the cow (including the chuck, rib, brisket, or plate areas). They are called "short" ribs because the cut includes only includes a small portion of the rib. But lucky for you, they often have lots of tasty, beefy meat to enjoy!

Beef short ribs are available bone-in and boneless. Boneless beef short ribs are cut from the chuck or the plate areas of the cow, and, as the name describes, have been separated from the bone. They're great to smoke and provide lots of meaty goodness that you can shred and enjoy just like to would any pulled pork or chicken recipe.

Boneless beef short ribs can be hard to come by, but lately I've had good luck finding them at Costco. You might also be able to chat it up with your local butcher and get some boneless beef short ribs from them.

How to Smoke Boneless Beef Short Ribs

These boneless beef short ribs have a fantastic flavor. They're very tender and lend well to the added flavor of a nice, long smoke. They're also pretty foolproof, so you don't have to worry about messing them up. Finally, they are SUPER versatile, making them a great meal to smoke up on the weekend with plenty of leftovers to enjoy throughout the week.

1. Fire up the smoker. Turn on your smoker and allow it to preheat to 275 degrees F. I used oak wood for this recipe, and it tasted delicious.
2. Season. Simple olive oil and some of my Signature Beef Seasoning is all these short ribs need. If you don't have any Beef Seasoning in your pantry, I recommend using equal parts salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Drizzle the olive oil over the ribs and season on all sides.
3. Smoke. Place those gorgeous ribs on the grill and cook for 3-3.5 hours.
4. Wrap and smoke. Wrap the ribs in an aluminum foil pouch. Add beef broth to the foil pouch with the ribs and seal tightly. Return to the smoker and continue to smoke these short ribs until the internal temperature reaches 205-210 degrees F.
5. Rest, shred, and serve. Remove the wrapped ribs from the smoker. Keep them sealed and allow them to rest for 30 minutes. Then remove the ribs from the foil and enjoy. You can shred these or eat them as is. My family likes these over nachos and in tacos and quesadillas.

These ribs are cooked similar to a brisket, except we take the temperature up to 205-210 degrees F. This meat is tougher than brisket, so cooking it until it reaches at least 205 degrees ensures that the meat will be tender and shred well.

How Long to Smoke Boneless Beef Short Ribs

Every cut of meat is different in how long it takes for it to fully cook in a smoker. These ribs took me around 8 hours from start to finish, but yours could take longer or shorter depending on the meat and your smoker.

Make sure you cook to temperature and not to time. Always check the temperature of your meat with a reliable meat thermometer to determine doneness. I also recommend you plan ahead and give yourself a little wiggle room with time just in case your meat is done sooner or later than you expect.

Bottom line: meat is done when it's done. Keep an eye on the temperature and I promise it'll be worth the wait.

• ▢ 2-3 pounds boneless beef short ribs
• ▢ 2 Tablespoons olive oil
• ▢ 2 Tablespoons Signature Beef Seasoning
• ▢ ½ cup beef broth

• Preheat the smoker. Preheat your smoker to 275 degrees F. Oak wood works well with these beef ribs.

• Season the short ribs. Drizzle the olive oil over the short ribs and season on all sides with the Beef Seasoning. If you don't have any Beef Seasoning on hand from Patio Provisions, you can use equal parts salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

• Smoke the beef short ribs. Place the seasoned ribs directly on the grates in the smoker. Close the lid and smoke for 3-3.5 hours. This smoke is similar to a brisket smoke.

• Wrap and finish smoking. Remove the ribs from the smoker and wrap in foil to make a pouch. Pour the beef broth over the ribs. Close the pouch tightly and smoke until the ribs reach an internal temperature of 205-210 degrees F (this smoke goes higher in temp than brisket because it is pretty tough).

• Rest and serve. Remove the ribs from the smoker, and let them rest in the sealed foil for 30 minutes. You can serve each short rib individually (you should have about 6 cuts of short ribs), or you can shred it and serve it on top of chili, stew, tacos, or nachos. Enjoy this meat any way you would enjoy pulled meat.
