Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 kg beef ribs
- 1 tbsp mustard
Cajun rub
- 1 part garlic powder
- 1 part onion powder
- 3 parts smoked paprika
- 1 part cayenne pepper
- 1 part oregano dried
- 1 part thyme dried
- 1 part ground black pepper
- 1 part sea salt
Bayou butter
- 150 grams butter
- 2 tsp cajun rub
- 2 tsp ground mustard
- ½ tsp parsley dried
Instructions
- Take the butter out of the refrigerator to soften at room temperature.
- Give the beef ribs a good coating of the mustard. This gives the herbs something to stick to.
- Mix the ingredients for the dry rub and sprinkle an even layer on all sides of the meat.
- Startup your smoker with a temperature of 135ºC/275°F and some hickory smoke wood. Place the beef ribs in the smoker and close the lid.
- While the beef ribs are smoking, you can make the Cajun butter. Mix the butter with the rub, mustard and dried parsley.
- After 2 hours of smoking, the beef ribs picked up enough smoke and the rub sticks to the meat. Then it is time to wrap the beef ribs into aluminium foil. Put a tbsp of the butter on top of the meat before closing the package.
- Put the wrapped beef ribs back in the smoker. Stick a thermometer through the foil and in the meat and close the lid.
- When the meat reaches a core temperature of 94ºC/201°F, you take it out of the smoker and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before you cut into it.
