Ribs! Whats your preference?

Pick

I like them all, but it is much harder to find good beef ribs, to me anyway.

Had some yesterday that they didn't take the silver skin off the back of the ribs (pork). boo

But they were free so who cares, I guess.

 

[MigratingOsprey]

i tend to dig the spare ribs

beef ribs can be good, but are a lot more difficult to do right and keep tender ...... when done well though you get a good ol' meat club

 

[Mulli]

well done pork spare ribs can be seriously good. The St. Louis cut ones are awesome as well!

But when you do...it is something else. I feel like a caveman gnawing on that huge rib. The State(or County) Line restaurants in parts of Texas have the best beef ribs.

Normally, though, I go for Baby Backs since they are more readily available.

Yep, that is about right.

The only real question for ribs is dry rub or sauce. Pork....always pork.

I had beef ribs last night at claim jumper. They were fantastic and HUGE!

Please tell me you had the chocolate cake, lodestar or whatever

Nope. No dessert. To full. Had Spinach and Artichoke dip for an appetizer, French Onion Soup, and the FULL rack of beef ribs with 2 sides. I was done after that.

I say sauce. NO WAY always pork. If you can find someone that makes beef ribs right they blow away all others. The key is who makes them though.

Since it was claim jumper, Judges accept that answer.

Sauce AND rub works!

 

[MigratingOsprey]

yeah - the two aren't mutually exclusive

i've dined at rendevous and their dry rub was pretty awesome - i've also had those that went on with nothing but sauce and they're pretty good too

the way I make mine is to rub and smoke and then near the end of smoking them hit them with the sauce and then provide sauce on the side if needed

also the best pork ribs beat the best beef ribs every time - this is not even open for debate ...... however, i'm not one of those who says you can't have good beef ribs as you most certainly can - pork just works better as a canvas for the smoke & spice

Hey Shane, if you like baby-backs I have a place for you in Vegas.

The "Stake-Out" near Maryland and Tropicana.

Now this is a dive bar. And by dive I mean really divey with video poker machines and degenerate customers who go there to drink beer and cocktails and pour quarters into the VP machines after getting off their restaraunt shift. Would not recommend this as a family outing.

But dang if they don't make fantastic ribs with delicious flavor and the meat falls right off the bone. I go there every year just for the ribs. They are great.

I've eaten there many many times. I do like their ribs! Thanks.

Never actually ate @ Rendevous - but have had their ribs shipped to me! Damm they're good!!!

A good beef short rib? Fantastic. I cook about 60# a week. Spare ribs are the best though. Nothing beats a good pork spare rib. Lately Ive been working with country ribs as well. The top end of the loin near the shoulder, Like a rib chop almost. I used to do beef spare ribs, but Mulli's right. Its tough to cook through all the sliver skin, and its a bigger bitch to peel em.

Thanks. And properly cooked pork shoulder kicks butt on ribs anyday of the week!

I like a slow cooked beef spare rib....

I find that the baby backs are a little easier to cook than the pork spare ribs. I typically do a dry rub and leave them over night. Then I flash them on the grill, then turn the heat down. The last 5 minutes I throw on the sauce.

They go on sale during Memorial Day so I guess I need to get some now

I'm not all that picky about what kind, I just love ribs. We have a few places here that have great ribs. One of my favories has AYCE on a certain day of the week.
