Step

• Step 1

  If your butcher has not already done so, remove the thin papery membrane from the bone-side of the ribs by working the tip of a butter knife or a screwdriver underneath the membrane over a middle bone. Use paper towels to get a firm grip, then tear the membrane off.

  Ingredients

  • 2 Rack Beef Back Ribs, meaty

• Step 2

  About an hour before cooking, put the ribs in a foil pan, meatiest-side up, and season the ribs on both sides with the salt, pepper, and granulated garlic. When ready to cook, start the Traeger grill on Smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes).

  Ingredients

  • As Needed salt and pepper

  • As Needed granulated garlic

• Step 3

  Arrange the pan of ribs on the grill grate and smoke for 1 hour. Pour the beer into the bottom of the pan (be careful not to wash the seasonings off the ribs). Cover the pan tightly with foil.

  Ingredients

  • 12 Ounce beer

• Step 4

  Increase the temperature to 250 (300 if you have a manual controller) and continue to cook the ribs until the meat is meltingly tender, about 2 to 3 hours more.

  300 ˚F / 149 ˚C

• Step 5

  Carefully remove the foil. Discard the braising liquid and serve the ribs with the barbecue sauce. (You can brush the sauce on the ribs and sizzle them on the grill, or you can serve the sauce on the side.)

  Ingredients

  • As Needed Traeger BBQ Sauce
