beef ribs????

[spanish fly]

my in-laws get headaches for some reason anytime they eat pork so i have to find some beef ribs. where in Houston can i find some? how different are these compared to pork? do they taste much different? is smoking time the same?

You can find beef ribs at HEB or Fiesta, I do not prefer them as much cause the lack of fat that they have and to me are not as tender as pork spare's are. But i am sure there are others who will claim different.

[PitBull]

See if you can find a rack of spares at a butcher shop. Much better. I myself have an impossible time finding them though.

I am not sure of what part of town ur in. But if ur around the Katy area you can try Midway Meat Market in Old Katy or i know H&S Meat MArket in Conroe sells them as well.

Wally mart has Beef Ribs. Most of the time,very little Meat. Sometimes they
screw up though.:shrug:

walmart screw up never yea right my belief thew are a bunch of skrewups:shock:

Try the Fiesta on I-10 in Jacinto City, they should have some. You could also try a Mexican meat market like La Michoacana meat market on 10813 Market Street Rd
Houston, TX 77029 (713) 453-4741, there's no shortages of these in Houston, especially on that side of town. Good luck. :thumbs:

Sams Club usually has them.

They have beef spare ribs, but they are already cut up. Are you asking the butcher directly for a whole rack? I honestly never though about doing that.

No, I'm not asking for the full rack, although that sounds like a good idea. I'm just cooking them cut up, very low and very slow.

[PitBull]

A hand full of times I have been able to get the whole rack. IMHO, they were so much better than the cut up ones. :rolleyes:

[gordo]

Ain't cooked them yet Redneck, but will try them this weekend for munchies while cooking that Scooters cookoff....

Zeeman I was gona foil them just to get a braze effect for the meat, in case some old folks come by and have artificial chompers (teeth)...:roflmaoha0:

This is first time Ive seen them packaged and sold like that, new item at the store..

I truly enjoy Beef Ribs(when they have a decent amt. of meat on them),they are high priced because of the big bones and high because they are usually trimmed very close(so ALL the Prime is harvested).
I know three Butchers in my area(as friends,not just as "THE BUTCHER").I also offer to do some meat for them(when I have a big smoke comming up)and they appreciate it. So.... I get some good meat-WIN/WIN:thumbs:
Stand there at the counter and talk a while;put them on your Christmas card list, you know,Schmooze 'em.
Besides, friends are like Booze,BBQ and Babes, The more the better:shock:

well i meant to take and post pictures of the beef ribs but i was already buzzing from the beer i had been drinking. i did wrap them for a short bit (not as long as pork) and boy the people kept asking for more and wanting to know the recipe ( but u know a cook never gives out their recipe). despite the big t-rex bone these beef ribs have, they turned out excellent. pork spares are still my favorite, more meat
