Step

• 1

  Purchase a package of uncut short ribs from your favorite grocer or butcher store – recommended Prime or Choice quality. Usually 9-12 lbs for 2 racks of 4 bones each for 8 total.

• 2

  Trim as much fat as possible from the top of the ribs with a sharp knife. Remove the membrane from the bottom of each rack of 4 bones.

• 3

  Sprinkle with kosher salt for the dry brine and wrap in plastic wrap for at least 6 hours or overnight in your refrigerator.

• 4

  When ready to cook, set the Traeger to 275℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.

  Wipe the excess salt mixture from the top of the ribs. Coat with a light amount of Worcestershire sauce before putting on a medium coat of Traeger Prime Rib. Follow with a lighter coat of Traeger Saskatchewan rub. Spritz with apple juice and let set for 15-20 minutes.

• 6

  Place on the Traeger with the thicker portion of the ribs (if applicable) to the back of the grill. Smoke the ribs for 4-5 hours with a light spritz every 30 minutes to keep moist until internal temperature reaches approximately 180℉ or the color has a nice deep char.

  Like a brisket, take the ribs off the grill and wrap in 2 sheet of heavy duty foil along with 4 oz of broth for each rack of ribs.

• 8

  Place back on the smoker for another 1 to 1-1/2 hours until internal temperature of the meat is around 203℉. Remove and cut. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
