Texas Beef Ribs can be brined overnight to keep them extra moist, but you can also skip this step if you’re pressed for time. Start by removing as much of the extra fat cap as you can. You just need to worry about the meaty side of the short ribs because the majority of the flesh is on top of the bone. Since the flesh, not the fat, will give the bark, you want as much of the meat exposed as you can. Don’t worry; there is enough fat there to preserve all of the flavor. To get a fair exposure of the meat from Dry Brine Ribs, which are typically sold in small slabs or racks, remove as much of the fat cap as is necessary. To help the flesh stay on the bone when cooking, leave the membrane on the rear (bone) side.
1. Eliminate the membrane:
If you’ve ever smoked BBQ ribs (beef or pork), you know how crucial it is to prepare the meat by removing the membrane. On the underside of the ribs, there is a thin layer that is called silver skin that needs to be removed. The membrane does not render and even has the potential to become stretchy when heated. It’s nearly inedible, so we must get rid of it.
2. Dry Brine:
Dry Brine Prime Rib helps BBQ ribs stay moister and more flavorful on the plate by assisting with water retention during the cooking process. You must dry brine your back ribs if you want to ensure that they are well salted. Additionally, brining your ribs will help them keep moisture. Brining the ribs also helps to slightly shorten the cooking time. Ribs must be cooked slowly and low on the smoker. Back ribs can be brined to hasten the process without compromising taste or quality.
