Do you want to cook BBQ beef ribs that melt in your mouth and fall off the bone? This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to choose the right beef ribs, how to prepare and marinate the ribs, and how to prepare them before they hit the grill. Everything you need to know about how to cook BBQ beef ribs that will impress any foodie is right here.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • lime juice
  • olive oil
  • fresh garlic
  • fresh ground pepper
  • slow cooker
  • BBQ grill
  1. Step 1

    Before you can cook beef ribs that melt in your mouth, you'll need to select good meat to start with. Find a local farmer's market that raises cows the natural way. These ribs will be meatier, cook better and taste better. Visit this link for a local farmer's market near you: http://www.localharvest.org/

  2. Step 2

    Prepare your marinade for the ribs with fresh squeezed lime juice, olive oil, fresh minced garlic, and fresh ground pepper. Remove the thin white layer of fascia from the meat. Before you move on to the next step of cooking your beef ribs, you'll need to marinate them overnight in the refrigerator.

  3. Step 3

    Put the ribs in a slow cooker on low for three hours. Do not add any water. Beef ribs have water in them already and you don't want to boil off the flavors from the marinade.

  4. Step 4

    Fire up the BBQ and cook the beef ribs on each side for about four minutes. Be careful when transferring the ribs from the slow cooker to the BBQ. They will be so tender that they almost fall apart.

  5. Step 5

    Add your homemade BBQ sauce during the last few minutes you cook the beef ribs. Brush it on each side evenly. Here are some suggestions for ingredients in your homemade beef rib BBQ sauce: lemon juice, honey, ketchup, brown sugar, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.

Tips & Warnings
  • If you can't marinate the beef ribs overnight before you cook them in the crock pot, it's okay. Just puncture the meat with a knife and pour the marinade over them and let it sit for a few hours. Then put them in the slow cooker.
