What You Will Need 

For this recipe, you will need to make sure that you only get the best ingredients. 

Then I guess, that goes with any recipe you cook, so you have to find the best place to get the ingredients.

 There are not many ingredients that you need for this recipe, and you can buy most of the ingredients in the nearest supermarket. The problem here is finding the best one.

 The beef ribs, especially, are pretty hard to find as they are one of the first cuts of the cow that get sold out.

So you need to go early to the nearest butcher shop and get the beef ribs there.

Look for beef ribs with enough marbling on them. These beef cuts are naturally tough, so you need to make sure that they have enough fats to tenderize them a little bit.

The fats in between the meat keep the juices inside and ensure that the hard muscles soften while cooking. So get the beef ribs with the best marbling.

You can also rely on the other ingredients to tenderize the meat.

You will be marinating the beef ribs with the most delicious seasonings before cooking them in this recipe.

You will need soy sauce, water, honey, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, peanut oil (optional), grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, and chili paste for the seasoning or marinade.

 These ingredients will surely make your beef ribs more tender and flavorful. So get them ready and make sure that you also have your tools ready to cook the best beef ribs at home.

 

Beef Ribs In A Masterbuilt Electric Smoker

 

Step 1: Prepare The Marinade

 This part of the process is pretty easy as you will only need a bowl and a whisk.

Mix all the ingredients for the marinade in a large bowl and then whisk them together until combined.

Make sure that the consistency is not too thick and the flavors are combined properly.

Do this by tasting the marinade and adjust the flavors according to your preference or liking.

For some, the marinade might be too sweet, spicy, acidic, or salty.

So add water, honey, chili, or other ingredients to mellow down the dominant flavor and balance everything for the marinade.

 

Step 2: Prepare The Beef Ribs

 You should prepare the marinade and the beef ribs ahead of time before the actual cooking process.

Preparing the ribs includes letting them defrost by thawing them properly.

 Leave the ribs in the refrigerator overnight to make sure that they thaw properly.

From there, wash off any blood from the beef ribs and then remove the silver skin underneath the ribs.

 This is a thin membrane that might not affect the flavor of the ribs, but it will make it hard for the seasoning to enter the meat.

So remove it using a knife and pull it out with a paper towel.

 After that, you will need to season or marinate the beef ribs.

Place the beef ribs in a large resealable plastic bag and pour enough marinade into the bag to cover the beef ribs.

 Massage the marinade into the beef ribs and then place them on a baking dish.

Put the marinated beef ribs in the refrigerator and then allow them to soak for 4 to 12 hours in there.

 

Step 3: Preheat The Masterbuilt Electric Smoker

 Fill up the tray of the electric smoker with your preferred wood chips.

Make sure to bring extra wood chips as this cooking process will take longer than what you usually do with other recipes.

 Pull out the water bowl of the electric smoker and fill it up with half water and half apple juice.

You can then set the temperature to preheat the electric smoker at 225 degrees Fahrenheit.

 Close the lid to balance the heat inside, but leave the top vent open so the preheating process goes faster. Leave it there until it reaches the desired temperature.

 

Step 4: Cook The Beef Ribs 

 Place the beef ribs inside the smoker on the rack and then let them smoke.

Ensure that the temperature stays in check by adjusting the vents or the controls of the smoker.

 Allow the beef ribs to smoke for at least 8 hours until the meat starts to fall off the bone.

This process can take up to 10 hours, so make sure that you have enough wood chips for it.

 After every hour, refill the wood chips as well as the water bowl of the electric smoker.

Insert a meat probe into the thickest part of the beef ribs at the 8-hour mark to see the internal temperature.

 Ensure that the beef ribs’ internal temperature reaches 200 degrees Fahrenheit to make sure that it is cooked and tenderized to the bone.

 

Step 5: Let Them Rest And Serve

 Once the beef ribs reach the set internal temperature, remove them from the electric smoker and then wrap them in aluminum foil.

Let them rest for 30 minutes to an hour before serving.

 These tender and juicy beef ribs go well with BBQ sauce so go and serve it with your favorite sauce.

You can also go with side dishes that you prefer, such as salads, potatoes, and more.
